Conclusion :

In the word of conclusion, microclimatic factor is important to be measure in order to understand the condition of surrounding. Microclimate is important especially for farming activities (i.e agroforestry) as the information of the particular site influence other factor such as fertility in the soil (i.e rate of decomposition of forest litter, nutrient availability etc) and the microclimate is directly affecting on the survival and growth of crops planted. The availability of such information will help to decide necessary action to be taken to ensure the site is productively supporting the crops planted. Thus, microclimate is representing a small portion of the climate for the process; by getting to know the microclimate variability means getting to know the climate changes in the place.
