My master's paper on the role of burned forest in microclimate conditions was just published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology Journal! In the paper, we explore how a burned tree canopy influences growing season climate in interior British Columbia. Here's a link to the paper authors.elsevier.com/a/1fKmDcFXJcrvy
