  • The Effect of Canopy Cover and Wildfire Smoke on Near-Surface Temperatures

    Creator:
    Brackett, Amanda
    Abstract:
    Recent shifts from clearcutting to partial retention harvesting on many ownerships and the importance of microclimate dynamics on biotic responses to regional climate highlight the need to understand how microclimate conditions in forest understories differ across gradients of partial overstories. This study compares below-canopy near-surface temperatures at 2cm above ground...
