Unraveling the Influence of Elevation on Moss Species-Area Relationships and the Effect of Spatial Scale on Elevational Richness Patterns in Mt Wutai With a Nested-Plot Sampling Design. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe elucidated the effects of elevation on moss SARs and the influence of spatial scale on elevational patterns of moss species richness in Mt Wutai. To date, studies on these two research themes in plants have been largely restricted to vascular plants, whereas equivalent investigations remain scarce for non‐vascular taxa such as mosses.

Exploring the Thermal Microcosms at the Forest Floor—A Case Study of a Temperate Forest
Atmosphere, 2021 With the expected changes in summer weather due to global warming, knowledge of the microclimatic variability at the forest floor dramatically increased in importance for silviculture, wildfire management and biodiversity issues.

Diversity, 2021 In this study, we evaluated the species diversity, density, cover, and size index of plant species within and outside 37 enclosures in the South Sinai mountainous region (Egypt), which had been protected for six years (March 2012–March 2018) against over-

Long-term microclimate study of a peatland in Central Europe to understand microrefugia [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2022 AbstractPeatlands perform many important ecosystem functions at both the local and global scale, including hydrologic and climatic regulation. Although peatlands often act as climatic microrefugia, they have rarely been the subject of long-term microclimatic studies.

Priority conservation areas for Cedrus atlantica in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Assessing biodiversity loss and species extinction is necessary to warn society and raise awareness of the impacts of ongoing climate change. Prioritizing protected areas is the pragmatic and applicable management measure under the pressure of ongoing ...

Diversity, 2020 Glacial relicts, especially those with very narrow habitat requirements, are particularly affected by global warming. We considered Papaver occidentale, a glacial relict endemic to the Western Prealps, belonging to the alpine poppy complex (P.

Topographic depressions provide potential microrefugia for ground-dwelling arthropods [PDF]
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2022 Species can survive periods of unfavorable conditions in small areas that are protected from climate-related disturbances, such as increasing temperature and severe drought. These areas are known as “microrefugia” and are increasingly recognized by conservationists.

A Research Agenda for Microclimate Ecology in Human-Modified Tropical Forests
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Logging and habitat fragmentation impact tropical forest ecosystems in numerous ways, perhaps the most striking of which is by altering the temperature, humidity, and light environment of the forest—its microclimate.

Environmental Research Letters, 2023 As climate change advances, there is a need to examine climate conditions at scales that are ecologically relevant to species. While microclimates in forested systems have been extensively studied, microclimates in grasslands have received little ...

On the measurement of microclimate
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many organisms live in environments in which temperatures differ substantially from those measured by standard weather stations. The last decade has witnessed a paradigm shift in efforts to quantify these differences and to understand their ecological ...
