Abstract
1. The removal of the thicket windbreak from around a residual forest island considerably alters its climate and intensifies the rigours of the dry season. The evaporation rate becomes much higher; appreciable increases are caused in the atmospheric diurnal temperature, but are more pronounced in the soil temperature. The island becomes slightly colder at night.Keywords
