Field Station Bulletins
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.
