Studies conducted at the local and regional scale encompassing the LM have shown a significant increase in annual mean temperature (0.007°C/year) during the 62 year period between 1932 and 1994 in the lowlands (100–450 m) of the LM (Greenland & Kittel, 2002 ); an increasing trend in the minimum daily temperature at El Verde Station (350–450 m) of 0.02°C/year from 1970 to 2000 (Burrowes, Joglar, & Green, 2004 ); and a significant increase in the mean minimum temperature between 1970 and 2000 on the East Peak summit (1,051 m) (Lasso & Ackerman, 2003 ).
