II Part THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Solar Radiation and Climate (Ch 2) The Physical Environment
Light Temperature Water Elemental nutrients
Soils
Part II THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Solar Radiation and Climate (Ch 2)
1. Solar energy 2. Global climate makers 3. Local climate
microclimate
1. Solar Energy
ONLY 45% OF SOLAR RADIATION ACTUALLY ABSORBED BY EARTH'S SURFACE:
SOLAR RADIATION
50% REFLECTED/ABSORBED BY ATMOSPHERE HIGHER ALBEDO = HIGHER REFLECTANCE SNOW, ICE = HIGH FOREST, PRAIRIE = LOW
5% REFLECTED BY EARTH'S SURFACE (ALBEDO)
Energy in the solar spectrum:
Most radiant energy that reaches earth = infrared = heat
Scattering of shorter wavelengths in atmosphere makes the sky appear blue
2. GLOBAL CLIMATE MAKERS:
Heat Adiabatic processes Rotation of earth Unequal heating Ocean currents
3. Local climate
Topography Humidity Microclimate
4. Inversions Microclimate
Factors influencing microclimate: a) Exposure to ground. b) Vegetation. c) Soil d) Human impacts
Measuring microclimate of a Tropical Montane Forest, Southern Ecuador
Summary: microclimates are small, but have a large impact Microclimate and habitat = microhabitat
Scale issue: Insects - top vs. bottom of a leaf Birds forest clearing vs. dense forest
Global Scale: Different climates (global - micro) vegetational zones on the planet Vegetational zones related ...
