Microclimatic Investigation of Waste Heap

Abstract

The author investigated the microclimate on the waste heap from the forest point of view. That is, the slopes were favourable to the sliding down of cold air and the rising of warm air, on the slopes, the layer of air near the ground had the peculiar meteorological properties.Like a skin of air it clothes and determined the climatic habitate of the plants growing thereon. There were 10 observation points located on the slopes of different direction and high degree.The sketch map (Fig. 1) shows by the configuration of the contours how regular the cone is on all sides, and it lies at an average inclination of 30°. All the points of maximum and minimum temperature readings were taken at a height of 30cm in winter, and vertical distribution of temperature and humidity readings were taken at o-150cm height in spring & summer. Fig. 6-9.Fig. 1-Fig. 4 show the distribution of maximum and minimum temperature on the waste heap on average for winter days.It was to be found that the lowest temperature and maximum temperature range would be found on the south slope, and results of humidity measurement on the south slope, had dry air layer, so the plants did not easy grow there.
