The environmental conditions in the immediate vicinity of an organism.
nope, not the weather on a six-foot-diameter island. It's the temperature and humidity level between your body and underwear, or underwear and the next layer of clothing. The purpose of DriClime®, for example, is to maintain a comfortable microclimate between itself and the skin.
The climate of a small area such as a cave, house, city or valley that may be different from that in the general region.
The local climate of a given site or habitat varying in size from a tiny crevice to a large land area, but being usually characterised by considerable uniformity of climate over the site involved and relatively local as compared to its enveloping macroclimate from which it differs because of local climatic factors (such as elevation and exposure).
The warmth and humidity of the air in close proximity to a plant. It may differ significantly from the general climate of the room.
The specific environmental conditions of your garden site.
The idiosyncratic variations in weather and grape-growing conditions found in a small area.
A small area with unique climatic conditions. These conditions can be quite different from a neighboring area. They include temperature, sunlight, rain and fog.
when small areas have different climates to the surrounding region due to conditions cause by wind breaks for instance.
(3) local site-specific climate conditions that differ from the general climate because of local differences in elevation and exposure.
The climate within a very small area or in a particular, often tightly defined, habitat.
A small area in which the climate is altered by some localised factor.
A small area that has different characteristics from the general area around it.
a small, localized climate area within a larger climate region, which has significantly different atmospheric elements. Microclimates can be caused by human intervention or by local landform configurations (e.g., "heat islands" in central city's areas of high skyscrapers or sheltered south-facing slopes of hills).
a particular climate within a very small area.
The climate of a small or confined area, such as a cave, plant community or wooded area.
a sometimes minute area that supports very specialized climatic conditions for the survival of specialist plants and animals.
(See Desert Oasis) The local climate of a small site or habitat. A microclimate might be as small as a shaded corner in a yard.
The climate of a very small or confined area. Microclimates can occur within contained objects such as showcases or book cabinets.
The temperature and humidity of the space between your skin and the base layer of clothing.
a climate in a small area that varies significantly from the overall climate of a region
a climate of a small area that is different than the climate of the larger area it is in
a particular weather pattern in a small area
The climate that prevails in a small area, usually in the layer near the ground. ()
The enviroment immediately surrounding a plant; very localized climate conditions. Many different microclimates may occur at the same time in different areas of a graden.
The climate in a very small area, such as found within a crop or pasture. Each crop has its own microclimate.
The climate (temperature, humidity, air flow) of a local or confined area such as part of a cave.
A small area where the climate differs from that of the surrounding area.
The physical state of the atmosphere close to a very small area of the earth's surface , often in relation to living matter such as crops or insects.
A microclimate, or a microenvironment, refers to the isolated environment within a small enclosed space such as an exhibit case, closed cabinet, drawer, box, or other container. Depending on the construction materials and quality of the seal, a cabinet or container can isolate the collections from short-term temperature and humidity fluctuations within a room. (Weintraub and Wolf, 123)
a local climate that differs from the main climate around it.
The climate of a small, specific place within an area as contrasted with the climate of the entire area. Producers can modify the microclimate environment by using plastic mulches, row covers, low tunnels, shelterbelts, etc… See crop cover See row cover See low tunnel See high tunnel See mulch Also see Microclimate Research Pages
"Little climate." The environmental conditions, such as temperature; humidity, and air movement, in a very restricted area, such as a sheltered nook in a cave wall.
Climate as experienced at the scale of a particular site. Includes such elements as solar orientation, wind direction, temperature, and precipitation.
refers to the climate immediately surrounding the individual vine canopy (or green growth) and clusters. Vineyard and canopy management will strongly influence the microclimate. This term is very frequently used in place of the word mesoclimate.
The climate within a small, defined area which can dramatically affect the character of the wine produced there.
myKe-Kroh-klii-mahte) The temperature, humidity, dew point and other climatic conditions specific to a tiny given area. The conditions within the foliage of a plant for example.
The climate of a specific small area.
the essentially uniform local climate of a usually small site or habitat
Climate of a small, localised part of a forest. Vegetation, soil conditions and small scale topography may create pronounced microclimate differences. Forest Management
Areas on a property that have slightly different exposures to sun, wind, heat, humidity and precipitation.
This term describes the climate immediately around the vine. It is influenced by canopy management. Related terms include mesoclimate and macroclimate.
Variations of the climate within a given area, usually influenced by hills, hollows, structures or proximity to bodies of water. (i.e. when it's raining at your house, and the sun is shining on the other side of the street)
A unique set of climatic conditions caused by landscape/building features. For instance, a paved parking area will absorb and radiate heat to the areas around it. Vegetation can block heavy prevailing winds or funnel them into a concentrated area.
Special conditions of light, moisture, and temperature that occur in a narrowly restricted area within an ecosystem, for example, under a bush or in a small woodland opening.
Small-scale variation in the environment (macrohabitat); an animal's immediate surroundings.
The fine climate structure of the air space which extends from the very surface of the earth to a height where the immediate character of the underlying surface can no longer be distinguished from the general local climate.
The suite of climatic conditions measured in localized areas near the earth's surface. Microclimate variables important to habitat may include temperature, light, wind speed, and moisture. ( S&G Jan 2001, p. 78)
The local climate near the ground that is peculiar to a small area (usually, the radius is less than a kilometer, and can be as small as a centimeter). A microclimate region is defined by changes in behavior of the atmosphere's surface boundary layer and not by obvious physical features.
The climate of a very small region.
A small site or habitat in which weather conditions at any given time are essentially uniform.
1. Localized climate conditions within an urban area or neighborhood. 2. The climate around a tree or shrub or a stand of trees.
The local climate of specific place or habitat, as influenced by landscape features.
This term refers to the distinct climatic conditions within a very specific area, no larger than a few metres (or yards) across and frequently much smaller. It might refer to conditions at a certain depth of soil, or within the shade of a particular tree. It is widely misused to mean the climatic conditions affecting a larger area, a vineyard for example, for which mesoclimate is the correct word. As it is applied to wine it is intended to convey the finicky nature of vines and the potentially profound effects of slight changes in elevation, soil, exposure, etc. on the resulting wine.
Referring to the environmental conditions surrounding a particularly small area.
Climates exist on several different length scales. 'Climate' and 'Length Scale' warrant further definition. Climate is average weather -- average values, over a given period of time, of surface or air temperature, cloudiness, wind, precipitation or related variables.
