Excerpt from Forests and Moisture: Or Effects of Forests on Humidity of Climate
The following treatise on Meteorological Effects of Forests relates mainly to the effects of these on the humidity of the atmosphere and of the soil. Besides these there are effects produced by forests on the temperature and the salubrity of a country, and all of these are cor related - each of them affecting the others, and, the others, each.
It is a matter of common observation that houses in the 'close proximity of trees are often damp it is also frequently observed that both in summer and winter the temperature in a wood is different from what it is in the open country; and it is becoming generally known that vegetation so affects the constitution of the atmosphere as to keep the air' fit for the support of man and beast. Phenomena connected with each of these effects, and different phases of these, will incidentally come under our notice 3 and their correlation may be attended to but the discussion of these does not come within the scope of this treatise.
