Canopy effect in this paper refers to the phenomenon whereby moisture accumulates underneath an impervious cover. Field observations reveal that the canopy effect can occur in relatively dry soils where the groundwater table is deep and can lead to full saturation of the soil immediately underneath the impervious cover. However, numerical analysis based on existing theories of heat and mass transfer in unsaturated soils can only reproduce a minor amount of moisture accumulation caused by an impervious cover, particularly when the groundwater table is relatively deep. In an attempt to explain the observed canopy effect in the field, this paper proposes a new mechanism of moisture accumulation in unsaturated freezing soils: vapour transfer in such a soil is accelerated by the process of vapour–ice desublimation. A new approach for modelling moisture and heat movements is proposed in which phase changes during the evaporation, condensation and desublimation of vapour flow are considered.
