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 …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Climate change is altering the distributions of species, which in turn causes shifts in the
composition of plant communities. Specifically, rising temperatures should cause increasing …

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 …

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 …

Temperature affects a cascade of ecological processes and functions of forests. With future
higher global temperatures being inevitable it is critical to understand and predict how forest …

Macroclimate warming is affecting ecosystems world‐wide. Tree canopies, however, can
significantly buffer temperature fluctuations, giving rise to lower maximum temperatures …

Downscaling from the predictions of general climate models is critical to current strategies
for mitigating species loss caused by climate change. A key impediment to this downscaling …

Understanding and predicting the relationship between leaf temperature (Tleaf) and air
temperature (Tair) is essential for projecting responses to a warming climate, as studies …

Rising temperatures are influencing forests on many scales, with potentially strong variation
vertically across forest strata. Using published research and new analyses, we evaluate how …
