Podcasts about Microclimate

In summary: The episode covers current severe storm risk, a warm/wet outlook, lingering (but mostly localized) frost potential, and advice for growers on weather impacts, pest and seedling management, and fieldwork timing. There's a focus on using sound data (not just forecasts) for planting decisions, and corrections on frost hardiness for strawberry crops. Weather Recap & Outlook The hosts recall a historic severe weather event: an F3 tornado in Van Buren County on April 16th, 1967. For the current day (April 17, 2025), the main severe weather threat is large hail (1–2+ inches), especially from Omaha through Des Moines and Ames; tornado risk is low due to low dew points. Forecast: Severe storms possible overnight. Friday and Saturday expected to be pleasant, with more rain chances from Saturday night into Sunday. Rainfall of 0.75–1.25 inches possible across the state. Eastern Iowa, especially between Waterloo and Cedar Rapids (D1 drought area), is currently receiving needed rain. The 6–10 and 8–14 day forecasts show a warm and wet signal, especially in southwestern Iowa. The month-ahead and seasonal outlooks are less certain, with possible slightly increased warmth and dryness moving into early summer. Frost & Soil Temperature Despite a strong signal for above-normal temperatures, the last frost of the season may not have occurred yet, especially in central and northern Iowa. Widespread frost is unlikely, but localized events could still occur, especially in valleys or low-lying, dry areas. Soil temperatures are fluctuating widely due to dry soils, with values expected mostly in the low/mid 60s to mid 40s over coming weeks. Some forecasts show soil temps as low as 42°F in northern Iowa by early May. Growers are advised not to rush warm-season crops like tomatoes and peppers into the field before mid-May or early June, due to risk of cold soil and air temperatures. Recent Weather, Climate Notables & Grower Reports It's been windier than usual, which is notable particularly in northwest Iowa. Cloud cover and cooler temps have persisted in eastern Iowa, verified by grower feedback. Accumulation of growing degree days is ahead of normal, prompting early alfalfa weevil egg hatch in southern Iowa. Some growers are experimenting with blackening cover crops to encourage warmer soils for earlier sweet corn, but cloudy weather has limited the benefits. Pest & Seedling Updates Problems with bean germination in greenhouse trays may be linked to seed maggots and/or sensitive response to high nutrient salt levels in potting media. Microclimate and possible ammonia burn are additional considerations. Growers are advised to bioassay suspect potting media using sensitive crops like beans and peas. Strawberry Correction & Field Work The host corrects a previous statement: Strawberry flower buds are hardy to 20°F; open blossoms are damaged in the high 20s. With wetter weather on the horizon, growers are encouraged to finish field prep and tillage now, before rain delays field access and results in transplants outgrowing their cells.   *Podcast transcript and summary provided using AI

Join us on episode 25 where we learn about a ground-breaking microclimate project with Assistant Professor Rebecca Senior and PhD student Cameron Goodhead from Durham University.They're here at Knepp to investigate the microclimates provided by the complex structure of vegetation that has emerged through rewilding. A variety of remote data-loggers will be deployed in different vegetation structures and, combined with drone footage, LiDAR data and thermal images, will help to collect evidence to support nature-based solutions for climate change.

With them, Andrew Martinez, who had recently attracted international media attention for his decision to attend classes while entirely nude. The cover photo was captioned, “The Naked Guy—A New Micro-Culture?”1Andrew Martinez's nude activism began several years before he arrived in Berkeley. According to a 2006 article in the New York Times, in the summer of 1990, at seventeen, Martinez had “fallen under the nonconformist spell of Henry David Thoreau” and began questioning the rationality of having to wear clothing in 90-degree weather. After requesting the permission of several neighbors in his Cupertino, California hometown, Martinez walked down Highway 9 “wearing nothing and carrying a sign that read, ‘I was born naked and so were you.'”2 He was quickly arrested, but his nude protests did not end.

With a voice often likened to Carole King and Regina Spektor, a classical piano training, and influences ranging from Björk to Chopin, Me for Queen – the creative alias of Mary Erskine – is rapidly winning acclaim for her beguiling ‘soul-folk' song craft, blending traditional folk story-telling with a contemporary edge.Growing up feral in ruralFife/Scotland, years of classical training together with a Blues guitarist for a father make for an interesting mix of soul and folk.Her much-anticipated debut solo album, “Loose End” was released via Seahorse Music in September 2018, followed by an EP “PerfectStranger” exploring motherhood, a collaboration with the Nashville singer, Alva Leigh. Mary has enjoyed support from BBC6 Music and BBC Radio Wales and BBC Scotland; the album was Record of Note on Roddy Hart's show and the single, Loose End, was Single of the Week on the Janice Forsyth show. In 2019, she was invited to tour as musical guest with the Guilty Feminist podcast, playing venues including the Birmingham Symphony Hall. Her song, “Jessica” was included on Spotify UK's playlist, “The Most Beautiful Songs in the World” and has racked up over 100, 000 plays. Teaming up for a 2nd time with Jim Wallis at Bella Union Studios, her new album, Microclimate, is set for release in early 2023. The record, recorded almost entirely in Erskine's living room, charts a turbulent period for the singer-songwriter and marks a musical evolution. A collection of songs about lockdown, motherhood, grief and much more, the album sees Erskine moving towards a more ambitious, electronic sound; in turns meditative, joyful then vulnerable, underpinned by resilience. “Mary Erskine... at the top of her game” Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music #NewMusic #MeForQueen #Showcase #Music

Autumn has arrived on the shores of the UK - a slight freshness to the mornings and a waning of the light signal that subtle change to the season. In the garden the peak colour and growth is starting to give way to the texture and autumnal colours that signal the slow, but beautiful descent, into a period of more dormant reflection. Autumn can be one of the most beautiful times of year and also a celebration of what has gone before, the present harvest of abundance but also the future excitement of gardening plans and work.After a good break the Talking Heads duo are back - Head Gardeners Lucy and Saul have recharged their batteries after a long, dry and somewhat busy busy and are looking forward to Autumn and Winter in their respective gardens. FOr many that means protecting precious plants of all levels of hardiness. But what is Hardiness and how does it differ across the country? And how should that effect the level of protection you give your plants - are you a risk taker or experimentalists? Do you want to make sure your on the safe side for everything or is tailoring your plant choice to your microclimate more important? Lucy and Saul take a look at this complicated world on todays episode.

In this episode of the podcast, I have discussed about "Microclimate."Additional Info:Microclimate is the suite of climatic conditions measured in localized areas near the earth's surface. These environmental variables—which include temperature, light, wind speed, and moisture—provide meaningful indicators for habitat selection and other ecological activities.The most striking characteristic of the urban microclimate is the Urban Heat Island (UHI). The UHI effect causes the temperature to be warmer in the city center than in the surrounding area. The difference in temperature can reach several degrees for large conurbations under certain weather conditions. Even though the effects of the UHI phenomenon are usually not catastrophic for megacities they can nevertheless intensify heat-related stress, especially at night during heat waves, and can lead to tragic consequences for public health. The UHI phenomenon has been extensively investigated during the last decades and is quite well reproduced in models. Across a permaculture site, there are few things that are uniform. With biodiversity and the maximization of edge key principles in permaculture gardening, you site is unlikely to look very uniform, not to mention that each individual plant grows in its own unique way. But also, your site is unlikely to feel uniform. Across a single location, there can be a significant number of different microclimates. These microclimates have different atmospheric conditions from the areas they are next to, with variations in temperature, light and water all likely to be present. The shape of the land is a significant influence on microclimates. While on a large scale, weather systems have a certain predictability (related to the rotation of the earth and the interplay between ocean and land), these patterns can get disrupted at the local level by topographical features such as aspect and slope.Aspect refers to the direction that a slope faces. This will determine how much solar radiation it receives, which in turn impacts upon temperature and shading. The composition of the soil affects microclimates primarily through how much water it retains or which evaporates from it. A soil that has a large proportion of clay retains more moisture than one that is predominantly sand. The degree to which a soil retains moisture affects the humidity and temperature of the air above it. After heavy rains, the soil can contain a lot of water and modify microclimates much like a body of water such as a lake. It is not just the moisture level within the soil that can affect a microclimate, the water stored on the surface of the land is also important. The vegetation on a permaculture site interacts with the soil and water to affect the microclimate. Your house can impact upon microclimates by absorbing heat during the day and releasing it at night, by deflecting wind and creating sheltered spots, and reflecting sunlight. Microclimates are dynamic things. As your site changes through maturation of planting, siting of artificial structures, and even contouring of the land, so the microclimates will alter.

As climate change and urban heat islands compound the impacts of non-climatic events such as pandemics and blackouts, critical infrastructure too often fails just when it is needed most. How do we rethink and redesign critical infrastructure at the city, neighborhood, and microclimate scales? Brian Stone presents new research findings from the Urban Climate Lab at Georgia Tech in discussion with Doug Kelbaugh, author of The Urban Fix: Resilient Cities in the War Against Climate Change.

Episode #13 Growing in Sunny & Shady Spots Working out what to grow in the prime sunny spot and what to relegate to the shady areas is something that every backyard gardener has grappled with at some point.  Like us, plants have different preferences. Some love being in the full blast of the summer sun every day and others are a little more tender and can suffer from sunburn, drying out or heat stress.  Knowing your food plants preferences means you can cater to their needs and have happy, healthy and good producing food plants all year round.  Many of us have followed the faith gardening model. Put something in without any consideration of location and hope and pray it grows. Most of the time it grows but it's stunted, slow and generally weaker, attracting pests and finally, disease takes hold. The way to move from faith gardening to working with your garden and her unique qualities is to understand the microclimates in your garden.   Microclimates is something I touched on in Episode 12 when I covered planning your food garden. I also cover working out what areas get shade and what are full sun. Take a listen before you start planting.  What is a Microclimate?  Microclimates are the places around your garden that have different conditions to what is in the surrounding area. Under trees, near water features, behind structures, multilevel canopies, full sun, grassed areas, hard surfaces, paths, wind, ect all contribute to the conditions. A microclimate can be as small as a few square meters or as large as the whole garden.  Fun fact. Having a water feature such as a pond can reduce the air temperature of the surrounding area by up to a few degrees. This temperature change can go as high as 1 metre above the water level and spread as far as several metres. It is also known that moving water can further reduce the air temperature and planting trees around the pond can reduce air temperature even more and help to maintain a consistent temperature for longer periods.  I will put a link in the show notes to a study that was undertaken in The Netherlands if you are into research.   In short,  having a body of water in your garden can help to cool it and creates a microclimate for plants that don't like high temperatures and also provides water for the wildlife and insects in your garden. So how do you know what is considered full sun, part sun/part shade or full shade? The general rule of thumb for working out what your garden sun status is:  Full Sun gets a good 6 + hours of direct sunlight every day (8 hours in summer).  Part Sun/Part Shade are the areas that get between 3 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. This may be a combination of dappled sunlight for 6 hours of direct sunlight for 3 or so hours a day.  Full Shade are areas that don't get any direct sunlight. They might get a little bit of dappled sunlight throughout the day or maybe they get reflected light off a surface like a wall.   Within these 3 categories, there are various levels. You might have an area that gets full sun from sunrise to early afternoon and then is in part shade until sunset or maybe you have an area that is shaded all day except for the last few hours. This is where you need to make a judgement call on what might grow well where and then trial and error your way to working it out.  Full Sun Most fruiting plants are sun worshipers and love being exposed to the sun. Vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, capsicum, pumpkin, okra, zucchini mellons, corn, strawberries, most of the berry family, grapes figs, passionfruit and most fruit trees. Some underground vegetables like onions and garlic love full sun.  Herbs like basil, oregano, lavender, rosemary, lemongrass, thyme and sage.  Some of these will tolerate a little shade but it will come at a cost. In cooler climates grow all the brassicas like cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and kale in full sun but in warmer climates put these in partial shade, they are long croppers meaning they grow through a few seasons and sometimes the harsh summer sun can cause them to bolt and produce flowers. Once this happens the flavour will start to turn bitter.  Part Sun/Shade Vegetables that do well in partial sun/shade sites include root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, beetroots, radishes, horseradish, parsnips and turnips. Also, a huge range of leafy vegetables benefits from a little sun protection. Lettuce, mustard greens, spinach, silverbeet and rocket also called arugula.    Asian greens like bok choy, choi sum, tatsoi and mizuna will thrive in part shade.  As I mentioned earlier, If you're in a warmer climate consider growing brassicas in partial shade.  Other veggies that will love part shade are asparagus, celery, kohlrabi, leeks, peas and beans. Beans don't need direct sunlight but they do need warmth. So grow these where it might be part shade but it keeps the heat, same goes for ginger and turmeric. Common herbs that love a little shade are parsley, coriander, dill, chives and mint. There are many more edible and medicinal plants that fit into this category. The rule here is if in doubt, try it out! Full Shade  Most of the leafy greens will do well in a shaded spot if they have good soil and good moisture. In summer this might be the only spot that will prevent your greens from bolting to seed. Same goes for coriander and parsley. And Brussels will tolerate quite a bit of shade.  If you forget everything and totally blank out remember that fruiting plants like it hot, root vegetables like a little protection and leafy greens are your shady space fillers.   More information Full show notes at www.sohfarmlet.com.au/podcast Blogs - www.sohfarmlet.com.au/blog Download Free - Chicken Keepers 'Chicklist' For Beginners Download Free Guide Getting Started With Composting Newsletter sign up  Episode 13 Sponsored This episode is sponsored by The Female MSI Club 30 Day Money Challenge.

Erwin had attempted to solve the problem of the peach yellows - a disease caused by a microorganism called a phytoplasma, and it was affecting Peach Orchards. It was called the Peach Yellows disease because the main symptom was that new leaves would have a yellowish tint. Now, if Erwin had solved the Peach Yellows' problem, he would have become world-famous - but he didn't. Years later, it was actually the botanist Louis Otto Kunkel who discovered it was a type of leafhopper that was carrying the disease. Although Erwin didn't solve the Peach Yellows problem, he was a peach of a guy. In researching Erwin, I discovered a rare combination of kindness and intellect. And Erwin was ahead of his time. Erwin developed a reputation for hiring and promoting female botanists as his assistants at the Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington DC. After giving these women tasks based on their strengths instead of their job descriptions, Erwin's team was able to work on projects that charted new territory for female botanists. The happiest day in Erwin’s life was no doubt when he married the pretty Charlotte Mae Buffet on April 13, 1893. Together, Erwin and Charlotte shared an epic love for each other and for reading and poetry. Tragically, after twelve years of marriage, Charlotte was diagnosed with endocarditis. She died eight months later, on December 28, 1906. Erwin dealt with his grief by putting together a book of poetry, stories, and a biography of Charlotte. The book is called For Her Friends and Mine: A Book of Aspirations, Dreams, and Memories. Erwin wrote, "This book is a cycle of my life— seven lonely years are in it. The long ode (on page 62) is a cry of pain."    There's one passage from Erwin describing Charlotte’s fantastic ability to attune to the natural world, and I thought you'd find it as touching as I did when I first read it: “Charlotte’s visual powers were remarkable. They far exceeded my own. Out of doors, her keen eyes were always prying into the habits of all sorts of living things... Had she cared for classification, which she did not, and been willing to make careful records, she might have become an expert naturalist.  Whether she looked into the tops of the tallest trees, or the bottom of a stream, or the grass at her feet, she was always finding marvels of adaptation to wonder at... She made lists of all the birds that visited her neighborhood. She knew most of them by their songs, and some times distinguished individuals of the same species by little differences in their notes... She knew when they nested and where, how they made their nests, and what food they brought to their young. In studying birds, she used an opera-glass, not a shotgun. She was, however, a very good shot with the revolver.”   January 21, 1881 Today is the birthday of the incredible American gardener, plant whisperer, and horticulturist Rae Selling Berry. Almost totally deaf by the time she was an adult, Rae was an excellent lip reader, and many suspect her deafness helped her attune to plants. In the early 1900s, Rae started a new hobby: gardening. Like many gardeners, Rae began gardening with a few pots on her front porch. It wasn’t long before Rae was collecting and growing rare plants - not only on her homeplace - but also on two vacant lots she rented next door. After subscribing to many English garden magazines, Rae ordered her plants and seeds from the world's best nurseries. She also subscribed to exotic plant explorations so that she could get seeds from the top explorers like George Forrest, Frank Kingdon-Ward, and Joseph Rock. Rae wanted the latest and greatest plants - and once she got them, she mastered growing them. In addition to Rhododendrons, Rae had a weakness for Primula. During her lifetime, no one grew Primulas better than Rae Berry Seling. And to illustrate just how much Rae loved Primulas, in April 1932, Rae wrote an article for The National Horticultural Magazine where she profiled the sixty-one species she grew in her gardens - the article was understatedly titled Primulas in My Garden. In 1938, Rae and her husband bought a new property in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The location of the property along a great ridge offered a number of microclimates and growing conditions. Best of all, Rae’s new place included water - springs and small rivers, as well as a marsh and a wetland. Each of these features offered unique advantages as Rae picked locations to situate her incredible rare plants. Now it's often said of Rae that she was in tune with the most finicky of plants. She had an uncanny ability to understand the needs of her various plant specimens, and she put those needs ahead of design aesthetics. Her incredible Rhododendron collection grew happily in simple raised frames behind her house. And in the spring, visitors to her garden were in awe of her beds featuring great masses of blooming rhododendrons. In the 1950s, Rae received a single corm of the Chilean blue crocus (Tecophilaea cyanocrocus "tee-KO-fy-LEE-ah sy-ANN-oh-cro-cus"). Native to the Andes in Chile, this blue crocus is exceptionally rare to see in cultivation… unless you were Rae Berry. Apparently, there was one memorable spring, when seventy-five Chilean blue crocus bloomed in Rae's garden. Can you imagine? It was Rae Selling Berry who said: “You don’t tell a plant where to grow; it will tell you.”   Unearthed Words I enjoy patterns, man-made and natural, and as soon as I start looking around me, they are everywhere. The countryside in winter has tree skeletons silhouetted against the sky — trees without leaves. One day their background is dark grey, another it is clear blue, but there is always a natural pattern of trunk and branches, a lesson in symmetry with variations. As the snow slowly melts, man-made patterns, still filled with snow, scar the fields where the wheel marks of tractors crossed the newly sown corn last autumn, sometimes straight, sometimes following the line of the walls or hedgerows. — Rosemary Verey, gardener and garden writer, A Countrywoman's Year, January   Grow That Garden Library American Grown by Michelle Obama  This book came out in 2012, and the subtitle is The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. In this book, we are reminded of the wonderful kitchen garden that Michelle Obama planted on the White House’s South Lawn in April of 2009. This book takes us inside the White House Kitchen Garden - from planning and planting to the final harvest.   You’ll learn about Michelle’s worries and joys as a new gardener. Best of all, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the garden along with the recipes created by White House chefs. Finally, if you have an interest in putting together a school or community garden, there are plenty of tips. There are many inspiring stories of gardens from across the country, including the Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom; a New York City School that created a scented garden for the visually impaired; a North Carolina garden that devotes its entire harvest to those in need; and other stories of communities that are transforming the lives and health of their citizens.   This book is 272 pages of gardening that stretches from the recent gardening history of the White House to the great gardening going on in communities across America.

Christy created the special day to acknowledge that food sources for squirrels are scarce in mid-winter. Gardeners are generally of two minds when it comes to squirrels. They either don't mind them, or they really dislike them. Thanks to their tremendous athleticism, Squirrels are a challenging pest in the garden. For instance, it may seem impossible, but squirrels have a 5-foot vertical. Nowadays, their ability to leap is well-documented on YouTube. Squirrels are also excellent sprinters and swimmers. And they are zigzag masters when they run - a wicked skill that helps them evade predators. A squirrel nest is called a drey. Squirrels make their nests with leaves, and the mother lines the inside of the drey with grass. Now, as squirrels bury acorns and other seeds, they either sometimes forget or simply don't return to some of their buried food. But, lucky for squirrels, they can smell an acorn buried in the ground beneath a foot of snow. As gardeners, we should remember that squirrels perform an essential job for trees. They help the forest renew itself by caching seeds and burying them. In fact, the job that squirrels do in caching seeds is absolutely critical to some trees' survival.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

This week the crew discusses the vast variety of climates where reptiles exist and the microclimates within them. With so many important pieces to create a complete habitat it can be overwhelming. Don't worry, here are some great ways to increase your pet's usable space within it's terrarium.

Farming in Northern Alberta. In This Podcast: Farming in Northern Canada can be challenging due to short growing seasons and soil so thick that only resilient plants survive. However, Neil Boyd understands the land better than most and he also knows the secrets to successful farming while being a sustainable land steward. Listen in to learn about cool season crop rotation, the importance of no till seeding, and the type of “trash” that is good for the environment.  Don't miss an episode!visit www.urbanfarm.org/podcast Neil was born and raised on a fourth-generation farm which was originally homesteaded by his grandfather in 1913. Through the years he has attended a college of agriculture and been involved with plant and animal research organizations. Along with his wife Ruby, plus family and friends, the land now produces cool season grain crops in a way that preserves the soil.  Besides farming, he is currently the vice-president of the Feathered Pipe Foundation, a Yoga retreat center in Montana, and has done volunteer work in Africa with water filter systems and youth leadership training.

California has unique micro-climate diversity that creates ideal growing conditions for a wide range of crops.  One third of the vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts we eat in this country are grown on the more than 76,000 farms in California.  But as the climate continues to change, many farmers have started to […]

 Yep, it's A Bug's Life, come alive.  Collecting seeds is a long-term gig, but it has to be done if the colony (that's us humans) wants to survive.  And even if you're not on a little island or surrounded by hungry grasshoppers, there's a reason to collect as many good seeds as you can, so the colony can be healthy and successful through the winter and the upcoming year.  Everyone is finally having to pay attention, whether they want to or not, to the supply chain and the concept of food security.  The Victory Garden concept that our grandparents and great-grandparents talked about has finally hit home, and it seems like everyone is realizing that a home garden might be a really good thing.  So what's the best way to safeguard success?  With things that work really well in your own space.  Local.  Adapted.  And tested to be successful in the regions where you plant them.If you've seen the movie, you know that Flik, Atta, and the colony understand the amount of work it takes to bring food into our larders, to support a community.  You have to start early in the year with growing and the harvest, to be successful, On top of that, what grows on one little island space might not be the same as something that thrives a few miles away.  But with a little bit of individuality, hard work, and utilization of the strengths each one of us might bring through the differences in all of us (read:  diversity), we'll make it.  The San Diego Seed Company sells locally adapted seeds are just that concept, come to life.  Today, we'll speak with Brijette Pena, who strives to find proven regional plants for plentiful and healthy harvests.  San Diego is the perfect area to test the boundaries of garden elasticity, with greatly varying microclimates, terrains and soil quality.  Not only does San Diego Seed Company sell seeds, but they offer classes, seed cleaning services, run test gardens, and are active in the community space with generous donations of time, educational services and product to schools and other local organizations.Because when the last leaf falls, it's a good thing to have the pantry stocked.  These are the people to help us do just that.Links:https://sandiegoseedcompany.com/ https://www.nlc.org/the-30-most-populous-cities https://sandiegoseedcompany.com/our-history-and-quality/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego https://www.caryfowler.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.12854 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)
