Agricultural and forest meteorology is a branch of meteorology that focuses on studying the interactions between weather patterns and agricultural or forest ecosystems. It involves understanding how weather conditions such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind affect crop growth, yield, and forest health. Meteorological data and models are used to predict and manage agricultural and forestry activities, including planting, irrigation, pest control, and harvesting, to optimize productivity and sustainability. By analyzing weather patterns and their impacts on crops and forests, scientists and farmers can make informed decisions to mitigate risks and adapt to changing environmental conditions, ultimately contributing to food security, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem resilience.
