Introduction
Methods
- Study site
- Microclimate data
- Macroclimate data
- Data analysis
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with environmental structure: topographic aspect, slope steepness, amount of bare ground, degree of shelter, vegetation type, or vegetation height, and which structures are most important?
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with increasing height above the ground?
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with increasing air temperature, and is there a particular temperature at which this relationship changes?
- Which combinations of environmental structures result in the strongest microhabitat offsetting effect with increasing air temperatures?
Results
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with environmental structure: topographic aspect, slope steepness, degree of shelter, vegetation type, amount of bare ground, or vegetation height, and which structures are most important?
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with increasing distance from the ground?
- Does the offsetting effect of microhabitats change with increasing air temperature, and is there a particular temperature at which this relationship changes?
- Which combinations of environmental structures result in the strongest microhabitat offsetting effect with increasing air temperatures?
