In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of microclimate in three types of coniferous forest stand in mountainous areas of Korea, categorized as Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. (PD), Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc. (PK), and Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière (LK). Climate data were obtained using a HOBO data logger installed in each forest stand, and meteorological factors were compared between forest land and nonforest land (weather stations) from July 2015 to May 2017. The differences in daily mean temperature, daily mean maximum temperature, daily mean minimum temperature, and daily mean relative humidity between three study sites and weather stations were significant, except for the daily mean temperature difference at the PD site. The meteorological differences between forest areas and weather stations reflect different forest characteristics such as forest type and tree density. The results also indicate that, even if the same tree species is planted in a forest area, the effects of the microclimate can vary depending on the environmental characteristics of the forest stand such as elevation, slope, and latitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
