Temperatures that cause freeze injury to winter wheat at different growth stages. Winter wheat rapidly loses hardiness during spring growth and is easily injured by late freezes.... Late freezing usually injures only certain parts of the wheat head and rarely kills the whole plant, plants may continue to absorb nitrate from the soil but do not have any developing grain to utilize the nitrogen. Nitrate might accumulate under those conditions and poison livestock unless the feed is diluted with adequate quantities of low-nitrate feed. 2, record 1, English, - late%20frost

Once an appropriate species has been chosen, planting should be timed to avoid early frost or late frost ... Avoid planting valley bottoms prone to cold air drainage and radiative frost until later in the season. Although these sites may be snow free early in the spring, depending upon the species, they should not be planted until after the risk of frost has passed. 3, record 1, English, - late%20frost

Les gelées de printemps, en particulier les gelées tardives (ainsi qu'en automne, les gelées précoces) sont également très graves, car elles se produisent à un moment où les végétaux sont en pleine activité (notamment les arbres fruitiers en fleur); mais leur localisation dans le temps comme dans l'espace permet une certaine lutte. En général, ces gelées revêtent un caractère local dû à l'absence de vent et au drainage de l'air froid et ont peu de conséquences au niveau national tout en restant très graves au niveau de l'exploitant. 2, record 1, French, - gel%C3%A9e%20tardive

Removing part or all of a horse's winter coat allows him to carry out fast work without undue distress. Clipping also allows the horse to dry more quickly; it is easier to groom the horse and spot the first sign of any injury thus helping to prevent disease. It also improves the horse's appearance. 1, record 2, English, - clipping

In the wake of a nuclear attack, even of moderate scope, there would be pronounced biospheric impacts for Britain. The climatic conditions, known collectively as "nuclear winter", would serve to kill off much vegetation and to significantly damage surviving vegetation. The most widespread damage would more likely be caused through "chill injury" than through "freeze injury". Many agricultural crops would die in the fields, or fail to produce grain, fruits and tubers in any but meagre amounts. The main environmental insults, viz. reduced temperature and light, would be aggravated, often in synergistic fashion, through additional assaults, e. g. irregular rainfall patterns, powerful winds, chemical pollutants and(eventually) UV-B radiation. 2, record 4, English, - nuclear%20winter

Les conséquences d'un conflit nucléaire généralisé ne sont pas seulement les destructions locales par les explosions nucléaires elles-mêmes ou le danger de la radioactivité. Ce sont aussi des centaines de millions de tonnes de poussières et d'énormes nuages de fumées et de suie qui obscurcissent l'atmosphère et modifient le climat de la Terre. Les nombreux scénarios de guerre nucléaire établis par les scientifiques s'accordent aujourd'hui sur ce point : les survivants d'un conflit généralisé, plongés dans une nuit lugubre, devront affronter le terrible hiver nucléaire pendant plus d'une année. 3, record 4, French, - hiver%20nucl%C3%A9aire
