Maps comparing mean annual free-air and sub-canopy temperatures. Left: mean annual temperatures as predicted by spatial modelling of climatological series for the period 1970-2000, from conventional weather stations © WorldClim, https://www.worldclim.org. Right: mean annual sub-canopy temperatures. On the maps of Europe and France on the right, the areas in black correspond to non-forested areas. The last zooming window shows the spatial predictions of sub-canopy temperatures over the whole state forest of Compiègne, in the Oise department (north of Paris), covering an area of 14,357 ha (144 km2). © Stef Haesen / Koenraad Van Meerbeek
