What is a microclimate? How does physical structure, whether that structure is built (e.g. buildings) or natural (e.g. trees), affect the diversity and distribution of microclimates in a landscape? How does water use and misuse in urban and agricultural systems affect microclimates? And, why should we care? Microclimate Change and Diversity in Natural and Human Dominated Systems, explores microclimatic variability in a variety of natural and human dominated landscapes, and discuss their importance in conservation of water, support of biological diversity, and mitigation of localized heating, both in the context of urban heat islands, and in the context or regional and global climate change. The book explores the public policy frameworks and professional practices (e.g. architecture and agriculture) that affect the distribution and diversity of microclimates. It will provide a synthesis of current understanding to support sound decision making in urban and regional planning, and advancement of policy to prevent microclimate change.
