Das Oasenklima und sein ökologischer Stellenwert

Abstract: The term oasis climate serves to describe the climate within areas of vegetation, which differs remarkably not only from that of the surrounding desert but also from that of its settlement because of the particular reciprocal effects within the mostly irrigated tree cultures. In order to illustrate the characteristic qualities of this type of climate, measurements were taken in a grove of mature old palm trees in the oasis of Tozeur in southern Tunisia, the location of which is characterized by a multiple shading of the ground by foliage, and those from a younger one where the trees are widely spaced. These measurements were contrasted with the conditions of the climate outside the oasis. In the oasis gardens the diurnal temperature fluctuations are significantly smaller than in the open; within the tree cultures, however, there are considerable additional differences between the air-layer immediately above the ground and that in the region of the upper trunk. The thermal differenc.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/2073
