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 …

Forest harvesting can increase solar radiation in the riparian zone as well as wind speed
and exposure to air advected from clearings, typically causing increases in summertime air …

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 …

In recent decades, an increasing persistence of atmospheric circulation patterns has been
observed. In the course of the associated long-lasting anticyclonic summer circulations …

Land use change is a major threat to biodiversity. One mechanism by which land use
change influences biodiversity and ecological processes is through changes in the local …

Climate change poses certain threats to the World's forests. That is, tree performance
declines if species-specific, climatic thresholds are surpassed. Prominent climatic changes …

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 …

Climate change is predicted to cause widespread declines in biodiversity, but these
predictions are derived from coarse-resolution climate models applied at global scales …
