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 …

Global change includes a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme high
temperatures (EHTs), which influence insects at almost all levels. The number of studies …

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

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 …

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 …

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 a nature‐based and cost‐effective solution, forestation plays a crucial role in combating
global warming, biodiversity collapse, environmental degradation, and global well‐being …

Protecting biodiversity against the impacts of climate change requires effective conservation
strategies that safeguard species at risk of extinction. Microrefugia allowed populations to …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community
ecology. Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological …
