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

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

Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]
, 2007 Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...

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.

An increase in canopy cover leads to masting in Quercus ilex
Trees, 2010 Masting is the intermittent and synchronous production of large crops, but its relation to tree growth remains elusive despite the ecological relevance of mast seeding. The production of huge fruit crops has been linked to the accumulation and consumption of resources as nutrients and carbohydrates, but no conclusive assessment has supported this ...
