Resources

Here, we compile resources related to microclimate and microclimate monitoring:

  • Useful R-package for microclimate data processing (especially for, but not limited to, TOMST-sensors)

  • Important notes on microclimate air temperature monitoring: 

Maclean, I. M., Duffy, J. P., Haesen, S., Govaert, S., De Frenne, P., Vanneste, T., … & Van Meerbeek, K. (2021). On the measurement of microclimate. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 12(8), 1397-1410.  https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13627

  • Designing regional and country-wide microclimate networks:
