Increasing management intensity of grassland through increased grazing intensity, mowing
frequency and fertilizer input have attracted more attention to the consequences of …

Climate change impacts the vulnerability of drinking water sources to contamination and
water shortages. This review highlights key risk factors along the impact chain of climate …

Aims The choice of environmental predictor variables in correlative models of plant species
distributions (hereafter SDM s) is crucial to ensure predictive accuracy and model realism …

Climate warming is inducing widespread vegetation changes in Arctic tundra ecosystems,
with the potential to alter carbon and nutrient dynamics between vegetation and soils. Yet …

Elevational gradient, slope, and aspect offer a unique opportunity to explore the response of
plant species under changing environmental conditions. The present study aimed to analyze …

Microclimate varies greatly over short horizontal and vertical distances, and timescales. This
multi-level heterogeneity influences terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem functions by …

Few studies have addressed the potential grazing effects on microclimate, such as surface
temperature and moisture, and their feedback effects on grassland function. A continuous …

Ecologically meaningful predictors are often neglected in plant distribution studies, resulting
in incomplete niche quantification and low predictive power of species distribution models …

Climate change is expected to alter primary production and community composition in
alpine ecosystems, but the direction and magnitude of change is debated. Warmer, wetter …

Soil moisture has a pronounced effect on earth surface processes. Global soil moisture is
strongly driven by climate, whereas at finer scales, the role of non‐climatic drivers becomes …
