Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of
irreplaceable socio‐economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at …

Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

Our current 1.1° C warmer world is already affecting natural and human systems in Europe
(very high confidence1). Since AR5, there has been a substantial increase in detected or …

Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from
estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic …

As forest demographics are altered by the global decline of old trees and reforestation
efforts, younger trees are expected to have an increasingly important influence on carbon …

Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between
species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have …

Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

Long-term analyses of biodiversity data highlight a 'biodiversity conservation paradox':
biological communities show substantial species turnover over the past century,, but …

Severe droughts endanger ecosystem functioning worldwide. We investigated how drought
affects carbon and water fluxes as well as soil-plant-atmosphere interactions by tracing …
