Abstract
During daylight ground surface temps. were generally cooler and more even within vegetation than in the open. The form of the vertical temp. profile within Calluna varied considerably from day to day and within short periods of the same day. Humidities tended to be highest and least variable at the base of the vegetation and the overall effect of the vegetation was to produce a more equable climate at its base.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
