What is A comparison of urban and forest microclimates in the midwestern United States about?

Weather data for 1973 from seven deciduous forest sites were compared with corresponding data from two nearby urban sites in central Illinois. The forest air and soil temperatures, rainfall, and wind travel were found to be significantly lower throughout the year. Daily temperature ranges were lower in the forest during the period when leaves were present on the trees. Most of the differences between urban and forest microclimates result from structural characteristics of the forest vegetation and their effects on radiation interception, rainfall interception, and reduction of wind velocities and from the physical characteristics of cities which result in greater absorption of solar radiation and retention of heat.
