Härdighet för vedartade växter förknippas oftast med zonkartans zonangivelser. Det är dock inte enbart härdighetsiffran som bestämmer om en växt är härdig eller inte. Klimatet på platsen är en avgörande faktor för hur en växt klarar sig eller inte.  Via en enkät tog jag reda på vad odlare i Norr- och Västerbottens län tycker om zonkartan och hur de använder sig av den när de väljer vedartat växtmaterial. Nästan alla odlare ställer sig positiva till zonkartans zonangivelser. De påpekade dock brister med användandet av den då den inte tar hänsyn till växtens proveniens, lokalt klimat eller växters krav på odlingsplats vilket är viktiga faktorer som påverkar härdigheten hos växten. Odlarna efterlyste mer information om växternas krav på sin odlingsplats och hur man skapar ett mikroklimat för just den växten i samband med zonangivelsen för växten.  En växtlista med växter som anges med en lägre zonangivelse än den zon den odlas i har skapats utifrån odlarnas egna erfarenheter. Med hjälp av litteraturstudien och odlarnas åsikter har jag skapat ett förlag på hur en komplettering av zonkartan skulle kunna se ut för att förbättra både kunskapen om det lokala klimatet och utöka växtvalen för odling i Norrland. / The hardiness of a plant is often strongly associated with the recommendations on the climate zone map. However, it is not only the climate zone recommendation that determines whether a plant is cold hardy enough to survive and thrive at a certain location.  By sending a questionnaire to local growers in northernmost Sweden I wanted to investigate how the climate zone map is used and how well it works in the northern part of Sweden. Most growers were positive to the recommendations in the map. However, they pointed out that the climate zone map does not take into account the genetic heritage, the local microclimate and the requirements of the location on which the plant is supposed to grow, which are all very important. Growers mentioned that more information about how to create a good micro climate for a certain plant in a certain zone would be very useful. From the questionnaire I have put together a list of plants that growers in northern Sweden have grown outside the recommendation from the climate zone map. And by using information from the growers together with information from my literature study I have created a suggestion on an updated climate zone map to see if it is possible to raise knowledge and increase plant selection in northernmost Sweden.

Most studies of under-bark microclimate have been restricted to observations of a few coniferous trees in wooded southern latitudes. This limitation is worrying because of emerging wood-boring pests that specialize on deciduous trees in Canada, such as emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis). Using a large data set that includes 60 ash trees spread across both urban and woodlot sites in 6 different Ontario locations, I found that the under-bark microclimate of deciduous trees can provide wood-boring beetles with an environment in which temperatures which differ from air temperature. On average, daily minimum under-bark temperatures are significantly warmer than air temperatures in the winter months. At temperatures low enough to cause substantial cold-temperature mortality to emerald ash borer, the difference between under-bark and air temperature can be large. In addition, I observed that the difference between daily minimum under-bark and air temperature can vary, and consequently that assumptions of a constant level of difference between the two are not valid. In the spring season, I found that daily under-bark temperature maxima on the south side of the tree are significantly warmer than air temperature maxima. This difference lead to faster predicted development times for beetles in the southern under-bark microclimate of urban trees as compared to predictions based on air temperature, suggesting that city trees may impact overall population dynamics. While it is clear that under-bark temperatures differ from air temperatures, and are important to predicting possible range and population growth of wood-boring insects, large scale measurements of microclimate conditions are not feasible. I tested the ability of a simple Newtonian cooling model to predict under-bark temperature extremes using weather station data. While the model did not predict daily under-bark temperature maxima accurately, predictions of minima were quite accurate (1.31˚C average root mean squared error), especially when compared to the errors from assuming under-bark temperature is the same as air temperature (3.20˚C average root mean squared error). I recommend use of the Newtonian cooling model to predict under-bark temperature minima of deciduous and coniferous trees.

<p>This thesis gives an overview about innovations in organisations as well as the importance of a favourable organisational microclimate for the enhancement of creativity and innovation. Generating ideas is always a very fragile process for any organisation engaged in innovative activities. In order to support good and successful ideas the companies have to have a favourable organisational microclimate. This microclimate is discussed against the background of certain conditions which organisations or rather companies should obtain in order to prevail innovations and cope with them in a successful way. The main focus of this thesis is on the conditions, which can favour and support the process of emerging innovations. The conditions are teamwork, management participation, effective communication and information flow, as well as innovative culture. During the different chapters however, some interrelations can therefore be seen.</p><p>Furthermore nine interviews with three different innovative Latvian companies support our theoretical framework of this thesis, how the different conditions are interrelated with each other in practice and their occurrence in the different companies.</p><p>In the end a discussion about the results is started, where it can be seen whether more conditions emerged.</p>

abstract: ABSTRACT The elephant tree, Bursera microphylla, is at the northern limit of its range in central Arizona. This species is sensitive to frost damage thus limiting its occurrence in more northern areas of the southwest. Marginal populations of B. microphylla are found in mountain ranges of Central Arizona and are known to occur in the rugged mountain range system of the South Mountain Municipal Park (SMMP). Little is known of the distribution of this species within the park and details relevant to the health of both individual plants and the population such as diameter and number of trunks, height, and presence of damage have not been examined. This study was designed, in part, to test the hypothesis that favorable microhabitats at SMMP are created by particular combinations of abiotic features including aspect, slope, elevation and solar radiation. Data on abiotic factors, as well as specific individual plant locations and characteristics were obtained for 100 individuals. Temperature data was collected in vertical transects at different altitudinal levels. Some of these data were used in spatial analyses to generate a habitat suitability model using GIS software. Furthermore, collected data was analyzed using Matlab© software to identify potential trends in the variation of morphological traits. In addition, for comparative purposes similar information at one hundred computer-generated randomly chosen points throughout SMMP was obtained. The GIS spatial analyses indicated that aspect, slope, elevation, and relative solar radiance are strongly associated as major climatic components of the microhabitat of B. microphylla. Temperature data demonstrated that there are significant differences in ambient temperature among different altitudinal gradients with middle elevations being more favorable. Furthermore, analyses performed using Matlab© to explore trends of elevation as a factor indicated that multiple trunk plants are more commonly found at higher elevations than single trunk plants, there is a positive correlation of trunk diameter with elevation, and that canopy volume has a negative correlation with respect to elevation. It was concluded that microhabitats where B. microphylla occurs at the northern limit of its range require a particular combination of abiotic features that can be easily altered by climatic changes. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

The observation was performed in brick building for the pig weaners. The stabling was created as group litter pens. The porkers was batten on fodder. The aim of the work was evaluationed microclimate of stable and the influence of the ionization on the air dustiness. The temperature, the relative humidity, the rapidity of atmospheric circulation, the cooling-down temperature and dustiness was measured in the pig house. The ionization was practised in stable and than was evaluation the influence of the ionization on the air dustiness. From the measurement was found out, that the ionization of the air was positive affect low particle concentration of dust. Effect of the ionization on the air was the highest during feeding-time.

L’agroforesterie, et plus particulièrement les systèmes sylvo-arables, sont des systèmes peu étudiés qui présentent des intérêts agronomiques et environnementaux en systèmes tempérés. Les systèmes agroforestiers pourraient notamment fournir un microclimat favorable aux cultures maraîchères conduites en agriculture biologique en contexte pédoclimatique méditerranéen. Cependant, il existe encore peu de références scientifiques sur le sujet, et l’issue des interactions entre arbres et cultures sont encore me connues. En particulier, le microclimat généré par des arbres âgés est susceptible de modifier les relations entre cultures, bio agresseurs et pré dateurs généralistes, qui peuvent conditionner la performance d’une association agroforestière. Cette thèse avait donc comme objectifs :➢ D’évaluer l’impact de l’ouverture de la canopée sur la biodiversité et l’activité densite des coléoptères carabiques.➢ D’identifier comment le microclimat peut influencer les processus de régulation naturelle.Les systèmes agroforestiers se développent sur des temps longs (pluriannuels): l’étude s’est focalisée sur un système ayant déjà des arbres âgés de 20 ans pour en étudier l’impact sur le microclimat et la faune du sol. Pour faire varier ce microclimat, un gradient d’ouverture de la canopée a été réalisé. La température de l’air ambiant, l’hygrométrie et le pourcentage d’ouverture du milieu ont ensuite été mesurés.En premier lieu, la faune du sol a été échantillonnée durant 2 ans (non révolus), et les structures des communautés de Carabidae ont été analysées d’un point de vue taxonomique et fonctionnelle, au moyen de 5 traits écologiques. Les résultats montrent que la structure taxonomique est peu affectée, mais qu’à la fois l’activité-densité spécifique des espèces et les traits fonctionnels sont modifiés par le gradient d’ouverture du milieu. En particulier, la fermeture de la canopée du système agroforestier favorise les espèces ayant une affinité pour des milieux fermés et humides.L’activité journalière de deux prédateurs abondants a été caractérisée dans une période estivale chaude (juillet), et plus douce (septembre). Les résultats montrent qu’à la fois la saison mais également l’ouverture de la canopée peuvent modifier les rythmes journaliers de l’Arachnidae et du Carabidae les plus abondants à cette période (Pardosa hortensis, Pseudoophonus rufipes).Dans un troisième temps, le travail s’est focalisé sur le potentiel de prédation des prédateurs de la faune du sol, au moyen de cartes sentinelles de prédation à deux périodes estivales, juin et aout. Les résultats montrent que sur au moins une période, le potentiel de prédation sur larves de lépidoptères (Cydia pomonella) est différent entre les traitements. Ces différences sont probablement corrélées aux différences d’activité-densité et aux différences microclimatiques induites par les différences de couverts arborés.Dans un dernier temps, l’étude s’est focalisée sur une culture, la salade, et les dégâts causés par les limaces dans les différents traitements, sur les feuilles visibles. Plus de dégâts sous les arbres ont été constatés, malgré une activité-densité d’Arion lusitanicus et de Deroceras reticulatum non supérieures au témoin au mois de juin où les dégâts ont fortement augmenté. Les méthodes utilisées (planches, pots pièges neutres et attractifs) ont présenté des efficacités différentes, dont l’intérêt respectif est discuté. / Agroforestry, and more specifically sylvo-arable systems, are poorly studied systems with agronomic and environmental interests in temperate systems. They could provide a favorable microclimate for vegetable crops grown in organic agriculture in Mediterranean pedoclimatic context. However, there are still few scientific references on the subject, and the outcome of the interactions between trees and cultures are still unknown. The microclimate generated by old trees is likely to alter the relations between crops, pests and generalist predators, which can condition the performance of an agroforestry system.This thesis had two main objectives:• To evaluate the impact of canopy openness on ground beetle diversity and activity-density• Identify how the microclimate can influence natural regulation processes.Agroforestry systems develop over long periods (pluriannual): the study focused on a system already having 20-year-old trees to study the impact on microclimate and soil fauna. To modulate this microclimate, a canopy opening gradient has been realized. The ambient air temperature, the hygrometry and the percentage of canopy aperture were then measured.First, the soil fauna was sampled for 2 years and the structure of the Carabidae communities was analyzed from a taxonomic and functional point of view, using 5 ecological traits. The results show that the taxonomic structure is poorly affected, but that both species specific activity-density and functional traits are modified by the canopy openness, which favored species with affinity for closed and moist environments.The diel activity of two abundant predators was characterized in a hot summer period (July), and cooler (September). The results show that both the season and the opening of the canopy can modify the daily rhythms of the most abundant Arachnidae and Carabidae (Pardosa hortensis, Pseudoophonus rufipes).Thirdly, the work focused on the predation potential of predators of soil fauna, using sentinel preys method at two periods, (June and August). The results show that for at least one period, the predation potential on Lepidoptera larvae (Cydia pomonella) was different between treatments. These differences are probably correlated with differences in activity-density and microclimatic differences induced by the differences in canopy treatmentLastly, the study focused on lettuce crops and the damage caused by slugs in the different treatments, on the visible leaves. More damage under the trees was observed, despite a similar activity- density of Arion lusitanicus and Deroceras reticulatum compared to control in June, where the damage increased significantly. The methods used (boards, neutral traps and attractive traps) presented different efficiencies, whose respective interest is discussed.

The aim of presented work was the evaluation of the effect of microclimate parameters on cows milk production. The observation of these scientific problems runs on the farm near Tábor from the February 2014 to the February 2015. 180 dairy cows Holstein cattle were stabled in loose housing without bedding.

A major contributing factor to the maintaining high milk production along with good reproduction of dairy cows is to create an optimal environment of stables. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of changes in microclimate stables on milk production and fertility in the observed herd of dairy cows. Monitoring was conducted from February 2013 to December 2015. The data were obtained from reports of milk production, lactation records of dairy cows and program called AFI FARM. Temperature-humidity index was negatively correlated to milk yield (r = -0,172). There was also negatively correlation between temperature and milk yiel (r= -0.176). Correlation factor between the relative humidity and the milk yield was r = -0.073. There was found strong positively correlation between service period and insemination index, r = 0.886, weak positively correlation between service period and insemination interval r = 0.397 and moderate correlation between service period and embryonic mortality, r = 0.532. When the relative humidity in the stable increased from 32.00 % to 89.90 %, temperature was measured from - 0.6 ° C to 35.1 ° C. The values of temperaturehumidity index were ranged from 39.99 to 83.71. The hypothesis is confirmed one should conclude that the microclimate of stable affects milk production. On the other side, in relation to reproductive indicators, hypothesis was not confirmed.
