Data presented in this paper were obtained during a five year study by the U.S. Forest Service (Ringger, 1972). This study, done in a hardwood stand in Forest County, Wisconsin sought to determine the effect of opening size upon temperature and moisture. Stations were chosen under a complete forest canopy and in openings ranging from single tree size to those large enough to behave as open fields. Hygrothermographs provided continuous records of temperature and humidity.

The Fairy Chasm Scientific Area encompasses twenty acres at the Lake Michigan end of a series of ravines that begin approximately 1 1/4 miles west of the shore of Lake Michigan in Ozaukee County. These ravines vary from sixty to one hundred feet in depth and have some slopes greater than 45°. The protection of the slopes, the cool air draining down them, and the cool winds coming off the lake, create a microclimate suitable for many northern species of plants. This study examined the effects of different microclimates on the phenology of several plant species. A second objective involved …
