The influence of varying temperature across southern California Ecosystems, 2022-2023

Temperature across the dryland ecosystems of southern Califronia extensively vary. These temperatures change across seasons, however there is a significant difference in mean and daily maximum temperatures. Areas that are more arid tend to have significantly harsher temperatures at peak seasons. Here, we collected temperature data, through the utilization of OMEGA temperature pendants, during peak seasons in Summer 2022 and 2023.
