Micro-Climate – Effects of Buildings
creates a warming effect on the surrounding air. Also the large quantities of buildings break up the wind flow, reducing wind speeds and causing the warm air to remain stagnant in the city. This also causes increased pollution as well as temperatures.
What factors affect a microclimate?
Microclimate
- The strongest gradients of temperature and humidity occur just above and below the terrestrial surface. ...
- Microclimatic conditions depend on such factors as temperature, humidity, wind and turbulence, dew, frost, heat balance, and evaporation.
What 4 factors influence a microclimate?
Microclimate is affected by macroclimate, site, vegetation and soil factors. The influence of these factors on the light, precipitation, humidity, wind, air temperature, soil moisture and soil temperature regimes of the seedling is explained.
