Przykład zróżnicowania temperatury powietrza na polanie leśnej w Dolinie Kluczwody

Applied studies concerning microclimatic description are an important element in the spatial shaping of the landscape. The objective of the studies was to determine the air temperature differentiation on forest glade in Kluczwoda Valley. The study area is located in Dolinki Krakowskie Landscape Park in VI Małopolska Natural Forest Region, 8 – Krakowsko−Częstochowska Upland Subregion. Basing on the results of two years (2003−2004) short series of microclimatic measurements carried out in five stations situated at a forest glade. A greater air temperature contrasts in the forest glade occurred between central part of glade and terrain next to south−east forest wall. A detailed characteristic of air temperature distribution in this area allowed developing a map illustrating spatial distribution.
