Forest stand climate

The interior forest climate differs from the climate in open spaces or areas with low vegetation. This is due, for example, to the shading provided by the treetops: less solar radiation reaches the ground and the conversion into heat is lower - it stays cooler.

The evaporation components also differ greatly. Furthermore, the wind, for example, behaves differently. In beech and pine forests and in an open space, we measure various meteorological parameters, such as air temperature, precipitation or air humidity.
