How can the materials that cities are constructed of lead to the development of microclimates?
Answers
ANSWER:
Artificial Structures
Your house can impact upon microclimates by absorbing heat during the day and releasing it at night, by deflecting wind and creating sheltered spots, and reflecting sunlight. But other artificial structures can also play a part in modifying microclimates. For instance, patios and other paved surfaces like driveways moderate temperature by absorbing and releasing heat, while fences and walls can give plants protection from wind, shade and shelter from wind. Even rocks in the garden will have an impact by storing and releasing heat. You can judiciously place rocks to modify microclimates.
Microclimates are dynamic things. As your site changes through maturation of planting, siting of artificial structures, and even contouring of the land, so the microclimates will alter. The good thing is that you can directly influence how this happens by your design choices, and so make the maximum use of every microclimate niche on your property.
