ISB – International Society of Biometeorology – ISB
Biometeorology is an interdisciplinary science studying the interactions between atmospheric processes and living organisms – plants, animals and humans. The most important question that biometeorology answers is:
How does weather and climate impact the well-being of all living creatures?
This would include reproduction, population fluctuations, and general health of the organism community.
Some example topics in biometeorology include:
* the relationship between agricultural yields and weather
* how extreme weather affects cattle feeding habits
* the impact of weather on human health
* how pollution affects certain tree species
* calculating the level of tolerance of organisms to environmental extremes
