Forest microclimates and climate change: Importance, drivers and future research agenda

P De Frenne, J Lenoir, M Luoto… - Global change …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

Point process models for presence‐only analysis

IW Renner, J Elith, A Baddeley… - Methods in Ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Presence‐only data are widely used for species distribution modelling, and point process
regression models are a flexible tool that has considerable potential for this problem, when …

Microclimate reveals the true thermal niche of forest plant species

S Haesen, J Lenoir, E Gril, P De Frenne… - Ecology …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Species distributions are conventionally modelled using coarse‐grained macroclimate data
measured in open areas, potentially leading to biased predictions since most terrestrial …

Microclimatic buffering in forests of the future: the role of local water balance

KT Davis, SZ Dobrowski, ZA Holden, PE Higuera… - …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Forest canopies buffer climate extremes and promote microclimates that may function as
refugia for understory species under changing climate. However, the biophysical conditions …

Climate at ecologically relevant scales: A new temperature and soil moisture logger for long-term microclimate measurement

J Wild, M Kopecký, M Macek, M Šanda… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2019 - Elsevier
Climate measurements are needed at a scale at which organisms live and die. Currently
available climate sensors, however, are not well suited for long-term field measurements at …

Climatic microrefugia under anthropogenic climate change: implications for species redistribution

J Lenoir, T Hattab, G Pierre - Ecography, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The role of modern climatic microrefugia is a neglected aspect in the study of biotic
responses to anthropogenic climate change. Current projections of species redistribution at …

SoilTemp: A global database of near‐surface temperature

JJ Lembrechts, J Aalto, MB Ashcroft… - Global change …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most
often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated …

Advances in monitoring and modelling climate at ecologically relevant scales

I Bramer, BJ Anderson, J Bennie, AJ Bladon… - Advances in ecological …, 2018 - Elsevier
Most ecological studies of the effects of climate on species are based on average conditions
above ground level (measured by meteorological stations) averaged across 100 km 2 or …

Topography and human pressure in mountain ranges alter expected species responses to climate change

PR Elsen, WB Monahan, AM Merenlender - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Climate change is leading to widespread elevational shifts thought to increase species
extinction risk in mountains. We integrate digital elevation models with a metric of human …

Incorporating microclimate into species distribution models

JJ Lembrechts, I Nijs, J Lenoir - Ecography, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …
