  1. 6. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
    Keywords : Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. READ MORE

  3. 7. THE INFLUENCE OF TUNDRA VEGETATION ON SOIL TEMPERATURES

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Edith Aspelin; [2022-09-28]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The arctic has experienced more rapid global warming and is more sensitive to temperature changes compared with the rest of the world. We can already see how vegetation distributed across the arctic tundra has changed in composition, height, and abundance. READ MORE

  4. 8. FLOWERING TIME DEPENDENCE ON MICROCLIMATE ACROSS AN ELEVATIONAL GRADIENT IN ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Maria Pavolotskaia; [2022-07-06]
    Keywords : The Arctic; flowering time; flowering phenology; elevation; elevational gradient; temperature; snowmelt; snow cover; microclimate.;

    Abstract : The Arctic is the fastest-warming region on Earth. Arctic plant communities are highly sensitive to temperature change; temperature-dependent advancement of flowering dates has already been observed in the Arctic. Flowering time is critical for reproductive success. READ MORE

  5. 9. Desert garden techniques to ameliorate urban microclimates : an example of application in Granada, Spain

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Otto Lundberg; [2022]
    Keywords : climate change; Egyptian gardens; Persian gardens; Alhambra; urban heat island; desert gardens;

    Abstract : In this day and age we are faced with urban cores getting hotter, with the main drivers being climate change and the urban heat island effect. This gets even more complicated as the parts of Europe that have the largest need too cool down, i.e. the south, has the least amount of space available for interventions in the form of green space.

  6. 10. Stand characteristics and temperature’s effect on bilberry availability and quality

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Jennifer Chaimungkhun Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : bilberry; vaccinium myrtillus; nutrition; maturity classes; temperature loggers;

    Abstract : Stand characteristics is a crude description of a forest and provides general knowledge of what the forest looks like, for example plant composition and site productivity. Factors and measurements like tree canopy and basal area affects the near ground microclimate through temperature regulation, light intake, and available soil nutrient. READ MORE
