A preliminary study of the extremes of weather elements, (temperature and humidity) inside the forest plantations of chir (Pinus roxburghii) and bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) has been made, observations being made at different heights from ground surface to five feet. It was observed that both the air temperature and humidity were modified by the sheltering as well as the blanketing effects of vegetation cover. It was also observed that fair weather conditions induced the maximum differences in the temperature behaviour.

Abstract


A preliminary study of the extremes of weather elements, (temperature and humidity) inside the forest plantations of chir (Pinus roxburghii) and bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) has been made, observations being made at different heights from ground surface to five feet. It was observed that both the air temperature and humidity were modified by the sheltering as well as the blanketing effects of vegetation cover. It was also observed that fair weather conditions induced the maximum differences in the temperature behaviour.
