- "winterless"
- temperature always sufficient to support plant growth
Dry (Koppen Climate)
- Desert climate
- Lack of moisture severely limits plant growth
Mesothermal (Koppen Climate)
- Mild temperate
- cool winters impose seasonal limit on plant growth
Microthermal (Koppen Climate)
- Continental
- marked seasonal temperature variation with very cold winters
Polar (Koppen Climate)
- "Summerless"
- low temperatures severely limit plant growth
Orographic, convectional, cyclonic, and frontal
