Vegetation<br />
Vegetation also affects regional climate an observation made obvious when<br />
comparing the wind speed within a forest with the wind speed at the same<br />
height over an open field. Friction reduces the wind speed in the forest, so<br />
open areas have greater winds. The relative humidity is usually greater in a<br />
forest than in the surrounding open country. Forests depress the summer<br />
temperatures by 1 to 2 C (2-4F) below the annual mean in their vicinity. This<br />
temperature difference is driven by heat budget differences; less solar energy<br />
reaches the forest floor than the open field.
