Amann's Index of Hygrothermy is an equation proposed by the

Atlantic oceanic climates.[1]

Usage

The

plants primarily found along Atlantic coastlines. Generally, this implies that plants within this group thrive in an oceanic climate, meaning they do best in places with lots of rain, mild winters, cool summers, and not much change in temperature throughout the year. Plants within these biogeographical groupings may have different needs when it comes to soil, like some prefer lime-rich soil, some like acidic conditions, and others aren't picky at all.[1]

The main question explored by this

bryophytes and lichen communities.[2][3][4]

It is important to note that this model should not be used for very localized studies, as the

mosses, which are highly sensitive to their immediate surroundings.[1]

Formula

Hygrothermy () is measured by the following equation:[1]

Where:

  • = mean annual precipitation
  • = mean annual temperature
  • = mean temperature of the warmest month
  • = mean temperature of the coldest month
