Microclimates can also refer to purpose-made environments, such as those in a room or other enclosure. [5] Microclimates are commonly created and carefully maintained in museum display and storage environments. This can be done using passive methods, such as silica gel, or with active microclimate control devices.
Water is one of the agents of deterioration. Its effects can be seen in these flood-damaged library books. The 'ten agents of deterioration' are a conceptual framework developed by the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) used to categorise the major causes of change, loss or damage to cultural heritage objects (such as collections held by galleries, libraries, archives and museums).

In meteorology and climatology, a mesonet, portmanteau of mesoscale network, is a network of automated weather and, often also including environmental monitoring stations, designed to observe mesoscale meteorological phenomena and/or microclimates. [3] [4] Dry lines, squall lines, and sea breezes are examples of phenomena observed by mesonets.
“This is something that’s been going on forever—we’re just becoming aware that the virus can change form to something that’s most advantageous to survive and propagate,” he says.
From their research they concluded that pre-emptive burns have been proven to be effective and largely call for an increase of these efforts and a more habitual management strategy to follow these prescribed burns. Cultural burns need to occur regularly and can be used to adapt to the microclimates in order to improve its effectiveness. [6]
They also compared rat population changes with trends in vegetation abundance and accessibility to rat control resources. The study found that 11 of 16 cities (69%) had significant increasing ...
The common frog is a poikilotherm and is able to function over a wide range of body core temperatures.. A poikilotherm (/ ˈ p ɔɪ k ə l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m, p ɔɪ ˈ k ɪ l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m /) is an animal (Greek poikilos – 'various', 'spotted', and therme – 'heat') whose internal temperature varies considerably.
Under careful watch, UCSF researchers attach a variety of pulse oximeters to study participants’ fingers, then lower their oxygen levels to a point where the devices should signal a problem.
