Selection of Overwintering Microclimate by Migratory Western Monarch Butterflies
… that the aggregation locations have a unique microclimate that differs significantly from other locations inside the grove nor that aggregation locations are uniform in their microclimatic attributes across overwintering groves. Rather, we find that the microclimatic attributes at the …

Incorporating microclimate into habitat suitability analysis for plethodonitd salamanders
… buffering effects of vegetation on near-surface microclimates and are produced at spatiotemporal scales irrelevant to a variety of organisms that thrive in microenvironments. Furthermore, commonly used species distribution models may not account for mechanistic aspects, like physiology, that are …

Automatic calibration of an urban microclimate model under uncertainty
… to automatically calibrate physics-based urban microclimate models. This thesis illustrates a general methodology for automatic model calibration and, for the first time, applies it to an urban microclimate system. The study builds upon the previously reported and updated Urban Weather Generator …

Modelling the microclimate in a conical bottomed circular grain silo
… model for predicting the behaviour of microclimate in the stored grain silo is presented. This analysis is implemented by calculating the air pressure field within an aerated conical bottomed circular silo, to continuing prediction the velocity field. The obtaining results are used to …

The relative importance of microclimate and land use to biodiversity
… in exploratory analyses which suggest that microclimate is at least as important as land cover in determining spatial patterns of abundance for 20 species of ground beetle. Given this potential importance of microclimate in determining where species will be found at fine resolutions, I then …

Quantifying How High Tunnels Create a Microclimate For Improved Crop Growth
… (HTs) or hoop houses. This study evaluated the microclimate inside HTs, how farmers were using HTs to grow crops and how the microclimate inside HTs led to improved crop growth. The HT microclimate varied by season, with more growing degree days inside the HT than outside in the spring, fall and …

THE IMPACT OF MICROCLIMATE ON BRANCH COLONIZATION BY NEOTROPICAL CERAMBYCID BEETLES
… possible causes, and to determine if similar microclimate conditions occurred at ground level in the dry season and the canopy level in the rainy season. Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters were placed at canopy and ground stratum (August 2007–September 2008). Microclimate data were regressed …

An aircraft and provide information about flight performance and local microclimate
The application of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to locate thermal updraft currentsis a relatively new topic. It was first proposed in 1998 by John Wharington, and, subsequently, several researchers have developed algorithms to search and exploit thermals. However, few people have …

Microclimate design methods for energy-saving houses on various site conditions in Korea
Ein kleines territoriales Gebiet in Korea weist verschiedene mikroklimatische Bedingungen auf, je nachdem, wie viel Sonne, Schatten, Feuchtigkeit und Winden es ausgesetzt ist. Diese mikroklimatischen Bedingungen können durch zielgerichtete Betrachtung aller Elemente bei der Entwicklung und beim …

Bat Boxes as Mitigation Tools: Factors Impacting Microclimate and Myotis sodalis Roost Selection
… rates are known to vary across species and roost microclimates can be harmful to bats. Providing bats with thermally beneficial roosts during summer could enhance overwinter survival of WNS-affected species. To further our understanding of roost preference and microclimate, we deployed 40 rocket …

Nest site selection by common eiders : relationships with habitat features, microclimate and incubation success
… To investigate the role of nest shelter and microclimate in nest site choices and female body condition, I placed plywood nest shelters over established nests. Temperature probes indicated that artificially-sheltered females experienced more moderate thermal environments and maintained higher …

The microclimate of corn and bean cropping systems: Its relationship with Dalbulus maidis, some aphids, and the diseases they transmit
… vegetated surfaces create their very own microclimates. Mixed cropping systems rather than monocultures constitute a traditional planting technique in the tropics, and it has been observed that mixed crops are usually less prone to damage from pathogens carried by insects than …

Fusion of sensor information to measure the total energy of an aircraft and provide information about flight performance and local microclimate
The application of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to locate thermal updraft currents is a relatively new topic. It was first proposed in 1998 by John Wharington, and, subsequently, several researchers have developed algorithms to search and exploit thermals. However, few people have …

The Surface Properties of the Mammalian Small Intestine: their role in the Absorption of Nutrients and their Variation in Health and Disease
The intestinal surface microclimate pH was measured in rat and man in vitro and rat in vivo using a pH-microelectrode. The mechanism of its creation and maintenance, its role in the absorption of nutrients particularly folate, and its variation in normal and diseased human intestinal conditions was …

Anemometry tools and procedures for greenhouse experiments
… and measurement of many variables in the plant microclimate. Photosynthesis, transpiration, thigmomorphogenic responses, and particle transport all depend on the level of air speed at the leaf/atmosphere interface, the microclimate. Yet there seems to exist no standard method of measuring and …
