Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

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 …

Vegetation greening has been suggested to be a dominant trend over recent decades, but
severe pulses of tree mortality in forests after droughts and heatwaves have also been …

Current conservation policy has been shaped by the expectation that, for many species,
places with suitable climate will lie outside their current range, thus leading to predictions of …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

Climate‐change adaptation focuses on conducting and translating research to minimize the
dire impacts of anthropogenic climate change, including threats to biodiversity and human …

Current climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, but the extent of species
loss will depend on the details of how species respond to changing climates. For example, if …

Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Microclimates at the land–air interface affect the physiological functioning of organisms
which, in turn, influences the structure, composition, and functioning of ecosystems. We …

Motivated by declines in biodiversity exacerbated by climate change, we identified a network
of conservation sites designed to provide resilient habitat for species, while supporting …
