Tropical forests are thermally buffered despite intensive selective logging by Rebecca A. Senior, Jane K. Hill, Suzan Benedick, David P. Edward

“…Thermal buffering potential is broadly determined by: (i) the difference between the “macroclimate” (climate at a local scale, m to ha) and the “microclimate” (climate at a fine‐scale, mm to m, that is distinct from the macroclimate); (ii) thermal stability of microclimates (e.g. variation in daily temperatures); and (iii) the availability of microclimates to organisms. …”

Distribution and abundance of the land snail pollicaria elephas (gastropoda: pupinidae) in limestone habitats in Perak, Malaysia by Liew, Thor Seng, Phung, Chee Chean, Mohamad Afandi Mat Said, Hoo, Pui Kiat

“…The environmental variables we considered included habitat (canopy cover and leaf litter thickness), topography (elevation, aspect, ruggedness, and slope), microclimate (soil temperature, air temperature, and humidity), and vegetation (abundance of respective vascular plant species). …”

Understanding forest degradation - a review of forest structure indicators by Alexius Korom, Mohd Shahrizan Syukur, Ajimi Jawan, Mohd Nazip Suratman, Mohamadu Boyie Jalloh, Mohd Azizul Hafiz Jamian, Zulkiflee Abd Latif

“…Forest degradation has profoundly impacted the forest structure which has affected the carbon stock, biodiversity, microclimate and function of the ecosystem. This consequently reduces the forest’s capacity in providing goods and services. …”

A protocol and training guidelines for mosquito sampling in remote areas with limited power supply by Ong, Song-Quan, Mahadimenakbar Mohamed Dawood, Homathevi Rahman, Mohd Farid Alias, Mohd Arshil Moideen, Lee, Ping Chin, Jodi M Fiorenzanoe, Nathaniel Christy, Thomas McGlynn, Noel Cote

“…Specifically, we describe the procedure for using rechargeable lithium batteries and solar panels to power the mosquito traps, demonstrate a workflow for processing and storing the mosquitoes in a -20 °C freezer, data management tools including microclimate data, and quality assurance processes to ensure the validity and reliability of the results. …”

Impact Of Ventilations In Electronic Device Shield On Micro-climate Data Acquired In A Tropical Greenhouse by Irfan Ardiansah, Nurpilihan Bafdal, Awang Bono, Edy Suryadi, Ramadhoni Husnuzhan

“…However, when reading the recorded data for both parameters, it can be seen that micro-climate data inside all shields are slightly higher than actual microclimate data ranging from 1 to 2 oC for air temperature and 1 to 3% for air relative humidity.…”
