Altitudinal and Microclimatic Relationships of Soil Temperature Under Natural Vegetation
Shanks RE. 1956. Altitudinal and Microclimatic Relationships of Soil Temperature Under Natural Vegetation. Ecology. 37(1):1-7
Soil temperatures were taken at weekly intervals from January through the following November at 9 stations along the transmountain road. The results were tabulated and graphed. The correlation between altitude and temperature at the 6 inch depth was influenced by the nature of the vegetative cover.
