Default Evaporation point for Ammonia?

You're right, but the concentration/partial pressure terms (dissolved vs.
gaseous) ARE temperature dependent.

There is no temperature dependancy in Henry's Law.

I'm pretty sure.

Partial pressure of the ammonia is also affected by the lower

temperature
(vapor pressure) of the water, isn't it?

Which law is that, Henry's?

The more important question is the rate of reaction of the ammonia

with
your wood. Generally speaking chemical reactions are slowed by

*about*
a factor of 2 per 10 degrees Celsius. So your instincts are correct,
its probably the low temperature that's the problem, not because of

the
vapor pressure of the ammonia but because of the slower rate of
reaction with the wood. Wait until you have warmer weather.
