Influence of Canopy Cover on Surface Temperature

Revista Brasileira de Geografia Física, 2020
Trees affect the microclimate, which influences thermal comfort and ecosystem processes. This study investigated the influence of the canopy cover on daily maximum and minimum temperatures. The data are from a collaborative database, and each measurement consists of the minimum and maximum temperatures under the canopy and in an open adjacent area over

Assessing forest canopies and understorey illumination: canopy closure, canopy cover and other measures

Forestry, 1999
The forest canopy is one of the chief determinants of the microhabitat within the forest. It affects plant growth and survival, hence determining the nature of the vegetation, and wildlife habitat. A plethora of different techiques have been devised to measure the canopy.

Strong influence of trees outside forest in regulating microclimate of intensively modified Afromontane landscapes [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2022
Climate change is expected to have detrimental consequences on fragile ecosystems, threatening biodiversity, as well as food security of millions of people. Trees are likely to play a central role in mitigating these impacts. The microclimatic conditions

Spatial Variability of Shortwave Irradiance for Snowmelt in Forests [PDF]

, 2008
The spatial variation of melt energy can influence snow cover depletion rates and in turn be influenced by the spatial variability of shortwave irradiance to snow.

Impacts of land cover and management change on top-of-canopy and below-canopy temperatures in Southeastern Kenya

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Los impactos de la conversión de la cubierta terrestre se han estudiado bien desde el nivel superior del dosel utilizando observaciones satelitales. Sin embargo, los impactos de calentamiento o enfriamiento de la cobertura terrestre y el cambio de gestión (LCMC) desde el nivel por debajo del dosel siguen siendo menos explorados.

Assessment of the success of canopy cover revegetation of former coal mine lands with Forest Canopy Density (FCD) Model in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan

Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, 2023
Coal mining plays a vital role in Indonesia's economic growth. However, these activities negatively impact the environment. To minimize this, the Indonesian government requires ex-mining land to be reclaimed, with one of the success criteria being ...

Incorporating Canopy Cover for Airborne-Derived Assessments of Forest Biomass in the Tropical Forests of Cambodia.

PLoS ONE, 2016
This research examines the role of canopy cover in influencing above ground biomass (AGB) dynamics of an open canopied forest and evaluates the efficacy of individual-based and plot-scale height metrics in predicting AGB variation in the tropical forests
