Forests have higher thermal buffer ability than non-forests

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - 08:30 in Physics & Chemistry

The contrasting structure and energy partitioning of different vegetation types moderate canopy surface temperature, and thus vegetation types may differ in their buffer ability toward temperature fluctuations. To better understand the interaction between vegetation and climate around the global, it is necessary to study the pattern of Thermal Buffer Ability (TBA, i.e. resistance to environmental thermal force) and its impact across biomes.
