Temperature and light micro-climate within a tall tussock community

Pages 179-182 | Received 17 Aug 1961, Published online: 06 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

Temperature and light measurements were made within a tall tussock community.

They show the extent to which the maximum, minimum, mean, and range of temperatures are higher near the north (sunny) side of a tussock and decrease outwards towards the inter-tussock spaces and towards the southern (shady) side. The decrease in amount of light reaching the ground with increasing density of tussocks and with closer proximity to the tussock base is more marked on sunny than on cloudy days.
