Climate of a small area or of a particular habitat.
The climate of a small area, such as a woodland, lake, or even a hedgerow. Significant differences can exist between the climates of two neighboring areas—for example, a town is usually warmer than the surrounding countryside (forming a heat island), and a woodland cooler, darker, and less windy than an area of open land.
Microclimates play a significant role in agriculture and horticulture, as different crops require different growing conditions. + prikaži više
