Forest canopies buffer climate extremes and promote microclimates that may function as
refugia for understory species under changing climate. However, the biophysical conditions …

Forest canopies can buffer the understory against temperature extremes, often creating
cooler microclimates during warm summer days compared to temperatures outside the …

Forest canopies buffer macroclimatic temperature fluctuations. However, we do not know if
and how the capacity of canopies to buffer understorey temperature will change with …

Recent global warming is acting across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems to
favor species adapted to warmer conditions and/or reduce the abundance of cold-adapted …

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 …

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

The Earth's mean surface air temperature has warmed by~ 1° C over the last 100 years and
is projected to increase at a faster rate in the future, accompanied by changes in …

Forest microclimate is crucial for the growth and survival of tree seedlings and understorey
vegetation. This high ecological relevance contrasts with the poor functional and quantitative …

Predicting long‐term trends in forest growth requires accurate characterisation of how the
relationship between forest productivity and climatic stress varies across climatic regimes …
