This trait is crucial for survival in regions with harsh winters, such as the Baltic region where Estonia is located.
The concept of külmakindel is closely related to the broader field of cryobiology, which studies the effects
In agriculture, selecting and breeding plants with high külmakindel can significantly improve crop yields in cold
Understanding and enhancing külmakindel is also relevant in the context of climate change. As global temperatures
