High-resolution tropical rain-forest canopy climate data [PDF]
Environmental Data Science, 2022 Canopy habitats challenge researchers with their intrinsically difficult access. The current scarcity of climatic data from forest canopies limits our understanding of the conditions and environmental variability of these diverse and dynamic habitats. We
