Microclimate in understories of a mango orchard and a degraded area in the Eastern Amazon

Abstract: Changes in land use alter regional microclimate. This study compared the microclimate in understories of a mango orchard and a degraded area in the municipality of Salinópolis, in the northeast of the Brazilian State Pará, eastern Amazon. In both environments, the microclimate was monitored through collecting data on the following variables: maximum, minimum and average air temperature, air thermal amplitude and vapor pressure deficit. The microclimate was monitored daily during four seasons: early rainy seaso… Show more

“…Our results corroborate Monteith's affirmation as we found that depending on the time of day, temperatures were up to 1.5 • C lower on B1 beds than on C (Figure 4b). Rodrigues et al [57] have found the same order of temperature difference in a mango orchard in Brazil but in their studies, mango trees were taller (6.5 m) and the inter-rows wider (10 m) than in our experimental plot. For relative air humidity, we found that the B1 beds were generally more humid than C. This result is consistent with Beer et al [58] who reported higher relative humidity in shaded coffee and cacao agroforestry system.…”
