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

Mountains are an essential component of the global life-support system. They are
characterized by a rugged, heterogenous landscape with rapidly changing environmental …

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 …

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 …

Aim Climate warming is increasing fire activity in many of Earth's forested ecosystems.
Because fire is a catalyst for change, investigation of post‐fire vegetation response is critical …

Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to
free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms …

Plant distributions are strongly influenced by both climate and topography. In an analysis of
geographic and topographic distributions for selected tree species in California, we found …

In the context of global warming, a clear understanding of microrefugia—microsites enabling
the survival of species populations outside their main range limits—is crucial. Several …

The impacts of climate change have re‐energized interest in understanding the role of
climate in setting species geographic range edges. Despite the strong focus on species' …

Efforts to conserve biodiversity increasingly focus on identifying climate‐change refugia–
areas relatively buffered from contemporary climate change over time that enable species …
