Which of climate factors exhibit ecological interactions?

the tropical climate! <- this is not a factor, this is a specific type of climate area Pretty much all climate factors have some ecological ramification. Heat, wind, moisture, duration of thermal events, direction of wind, rapidity of change, all these things and more have potentially tremendous ecological impacts. For example, apple trees need a certain number of days below freezing each year to set fruit. If the local climate changes so that, even if it were on average colder, there were not a certain minimum number of days below freezing no fruit would be produced in that area. Wind direction is critical, for example, the winds blowing west from north Africa carry ancient lake sediment from the now dry Sahara. This dust is rich in nutrients and is one of the main sources of new nutrients for the South American Amazon jungle. Every change in climate has an ecological effect.
