     the role of ivy (hedera helix l.) on building walls is much debated, with arguments being put forward for it playing a biodeteriorative role (for example through ivy rootlets exploiting cracks and holes) as well as suggestions that it might provide some bioprotection (for example by the ivy canopy protecting the walls from other agents of deterioration such as frost). we have carried out a year-long study of the influence that ivy canopies play on wall surface microclimates at five sites across a range of climatic settings within england, using ibuttons to monitor temperature and relative humidity fluctuations at the wall surface on ivy-covered and exposed walls. hourly data illustrates a general mediating effect of ivy canopies on both temperature and relative humidity regimes. the ivy reduces extremes of temperature and relative humidity, with the most clearcut differences for temperature. across all five sites the average daily maximum temperature was 36% higher and the average daily minimum temperature 15% lower on exposed vs ivy-covered surfaces. differences in the exposure level of studied walls (i.e. whether they are shaded or not by trees or other walls) influenced the degree of microclimatic alteration provided by the ivy canopy. other important factors influencing the strength of the ivy impact on microclimate were found to be thickness of the canopy and aspect of the wall. a detailed analysis of one site, byland in north yorkshire, illustrates the seasonal differences in impact of ivy on microclimates, with insulation against freezing being the dominant effect in january, and the removal of high temperature ‘spikes’ the dominant effect in july. the observed moderating role of ivy canopies on wall surface microclimates will reduce the likelihood of frost and salt deterioration to the building materials, thus contributing to their conservation. further research needs to be done on other potentially deteriorative roles of ivy before an overall bioprotective role can be assumed, but the significant impact of ivy on wall surface microclimates across england is clear.
