OBSERVATIONS ON LOCAL TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS AND PLANT RESPONSES.

The article discusses the study which aims to set on record results of a phenological survey accomplished in conjunction with a local climatic survey in Bath, England during 1945 and 1946. Bath is situated where Avon lessens the gap in the escarpment of the Cotswold Hills and is the center where six valleys developed on the dip slope of the escarpment. Proximity to water, soil type and vegetation cover are factors in local climatology that may locally be dominant and their effects need specific measurement. It is concluded that local variations of temperature are significant in producing local variations of plant growth.
