In: Agricultural Meteorology 18 (1977),pp. 455 - 462Summary: Daily variations in temperature, vapour pressure, relative humidity and evaporation were measured at 0, 100, and 200 cm above ground level, inside plantations of unirrigated and irrigated monocrops of coconut, inside a combination crop of irrigated coconut + cacao, and in the open area during November-May in two consecutive seasons. The crop combination offered a sort of buffering effect against drastic diurnal variation in its ecoclimate. Differences between the average daily values of maximum and minimum temperature and relative humidity were considerably less in the ecoclimate of the crop combination. Evaporation from the ecoclimate of the crop combination was only about 30% of that from the open area.
