The great diversity found in the various habitats is stressed, also as far as the microclimate is concerned.The stronghold of this book on microclimatology or the ‘minor weather’ in the immediate surroundings of plants and animals is its capacity to unravel the causal relationships between climate, topography, soils, vegetation and fauna. The manifold interactions in between are explained in detail and it is concluded that the connections are so intimate that each species has its own microclimate. This book is unique and interesting for a wide audience. It specifically targets natural scientists and students in biology with an interest in climatology and climatologists with an interest in biology.Vegetation and climateMicroclimatologyVegetation and climate.Microclimatology.581.722Stoutjesdijk Philippus443165Barkman Jan JohannesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797763103321Microclimate, vegetation and fauna3705225UNINA
