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
The Effects of Weather on Health and How to Prepare
The field of science that studies the effect of weather on our health is called human biometeorology.
