The area and index of diurnal dynamic of microclimate gradient as a mangrove – environment interaction parameter

Abstract

Environment interactions with forest ecosystems including mangrove forests can be described by changes of the micro climate parameter quantity around the edge of the woods. This study describes the use of the dynamic area and index parameter of air temperature and humidity gradient. We formulate these parameters to characterize the mangrove forest microclimate and its interaction with the environment. Diurnal data collecting of the air temperature and humidity is conducted in ten transects which have different environmental conditions and ecosystem borders. The results show that the dynamic area parameter of the microclimate gradient may characterize the mangrove ecosystem and border environment.

Keywords: air temperature, air humidity, gradient dynamics.
