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 …

Global change includes a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme high
temperatures (EHTs), which influence insects at almost all levels. The number of studies …

The worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and
central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit and …

Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of
irreplaceable socio‐economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

Recently reported insect declines have raised both political and social concern. Although
the declines have been attributed to land use and climate change, supporting evidence …

Global biodiversity is undergoing rapid declines, driven in large part by changes to land use
and climate. Global models help us to understand the consequences of environmental …

As forest demographics are altered by the global decline of old trees and reforestation
efforts, younger trees are expected to have an increasingly important influence on carbon …
