Insects plants and microclimate

<p>Microclimate is the very local climate close to the ground or another surface. The microclimate around a plant is particularly complex and interesting and an insect sitting on a leaf may be inhabiting a weather system completely different from the weather outside. An understanding of the microclimate around plants enables us to interpret the behaviour pattern of insects as they change through the day.</p> <p>The instruments needed for exploring microclimate need not be expensive - this book explains how many of them can be made at home or at school using inexpensive components. The colour illustrations provide a guide to the main groups of insects and identification keys are listed for each.</p> <p>9781784275334 & 9781784275341 are digital reprints of 0855462795 (1991).</p>
