Microclimate refers to the climate of a small, specific area that may have different weather conditions or temperature patterns compared to the surrounding area. Factors such as topography, vegetation cover, and human activities can all influence microclimates. Studying microclimates is important for understanding how environmental conditions vary within a relatively small geographic area, and how these variations can impact ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. Researchers may use tools such as sensors and weather stations to collect data on microclimate conditions, and analyze this data to better understand local climate patterns.
