Abstract
During a 24-hour period of cloudless weather (12-13 April, 1966) at Nungua beach near Accra (Ghana), continuous and simultaneous readings of air and soil temperatures, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, salt spray and evaporative power of the air were made along a transect of 5 stations running at right angles to the beach from the high tide level to the margin of the thicket community. The microclimatic gradient appears to be correlated with the structure and species composition of vegetation along the transect. The possible ecological impact of various microclimatic factors discussed. Pe3HIole
