Microclimatic buffering in forests of the future: the role of local water balance
Forest canopies buffer climate extremes and promote microclimates that may function as
refugia for understory species under changing climate. However, the biophysical conditions …

Seasonal drivers of understorey temperature buffering in temperate deciduous forests across Europe
Aim Forest understorey microclimates are often buffered against extreme heat or cold, with
important implications for the organisms living in these environments. We quantified …

Forest structure and composition alleviate human thermal stress
Current climate change aggravates human health hazards posed by heat stress. Forests can
locally mitigate this by acting as strong thermal buffers, yet potential mediation by forest …

Identifying and managing disturbance‐stimulated flammability in woody ecosystems
D Lindenmayer, P Zylstra - Biological Reviews, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

Microclimatic edge-to-interior gradients of European deciduous forests
C Meeussen, S Govaert, T Vanneste… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2021 - Elsevier
Global forest cover is heavily fragmented. Due to high edge-to-surface ratios in small forest
patches, a large proportion of forests is affected by edge influences involving steep …
