Microrefugia and microclimate: Unraveling decoupling potential and resistance to heatwaves

Science of The Total Environment
Microrefugia, defined as small areas maintaining populations of species outside their range margins during environmental extremes, are increasingly recognized for their role in conserving species in the face of climate change. Understanding their microclimatic dynamics becomes crucial with global warming leading to severe temperature and precipitation ...

Caves as microrefugia: Pleistocene phylogeography of the troglophilic North American scorpion Pseudouroctonus reddelli [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014
Survival in microrefugia represents an important paradigm in phylogeography for explaining rapid postglacial re-colonization by species in temperate regions. Microrefugia may allow populations to persist in areas where the climatic conditions on the surface have become unfavourable.

Microrefugia and Shifts of Hippophae tibetana (Elaeagnaceae) on the north side of Mt. Qomolangma (Mt. Everest) during the last 25000 years. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Microrefugia at high altitudes or high latitudes are thought to play an important role in the post-glacial colonization of species. However, how populations in such microrefugia have responded to climate changes in alternating cold glacial and warm ...

Climatic microrefugia under anthropogenic climate change: implications for species redistribution [PDF]

Ecography, 2016
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 continental extent are based on climatic grids of coarse (≥ 1 km) resolutions that fail to capture spatiotemporal dynamics associated with climatic microrefugia.

Cold‐air pools as microrefugia for ecosystem functions in the face of climate change

Ecology, 2022
AbstractCold‐air pooling is a global phenomenon that frequently sustains low temperatures in sheltered, low‐lying depressions and valleys and drives other key environmental conditions, such as soil temperature, soil moisture, vapor pressure deficit, frost frequency, and winter dynamics.

Potential warm-stage microrefugia for alpine plants: Feedback between geomorphological and biological processes

Ecological Complexity, 2015
Abstract During interglacial stages, microrefugia are sites that support locally favorable climates within larger areas with unfavorable warmer climates. Despite recent theoretical representations of microrefugia, an appropriate ecological characterization is still lacking, mostly for warm periods.

Disturbance and topography shape the capacity of microrefugia to support unique biodiversity [PDF]

Ecological Indicators
Microrefugia play a key role in facilitating the persistence of biodiversity during climate change. Many occur in topographically complex landscapes shaped by various disturbances, but we know little about how the combined effects of topography and ...

The effects of intensive logging on the capacity of karst dolines to provide potential microrefugia for cool-adapted plants [PDF]

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2020
Dolines are local depressions of karst surfaces. They can be considered potential microrefugia for various species. We investigated the species composition and vegetation pattern of two medium-sized dolines in Hungary before and 10 years after logging ...

Tree Cover and Temperature Shape the Distribution of Epiphytic <i>Pleurozia</i> in Asia: Forest Havens in a Warming Climate. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study uses an optimized MaxEnt model to predict the potential distribution of Pleurozia across Asia under current and future climate scenarios. Our results show that evergreen broadleaf forest cover, temperature annual range, mean diurnal range, and altitude are the key environmental determinants, and that suitable habitats are projected to expand

Data on the Distribution and Ecology of <i>Pistia stratiotes</i> L. (Araceae) in Hungary. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Free‐floating macrophyte invasions pose an increasing threat to lowland freshwater systems in Central Europe, particularly in thermally influenced canal networks. This study provides the first detailed assessment of the distribution, habitat conditions, dispersal, and reproduction of Pistia stratiotes along the Élővíz Canal in southeastern Hungary ...
