Near-ground and 3D microclimates slow down climate velocity and alter their direction with important implications for range shifting specise. Check out our work from my time in the Coomes lab at Cambridge: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
Microclimates slow and alter the direction of climate velocities in tropical forests - Nature Climate Change
The authors model near-ground and within-canopy microclimates in a tropical montane rainforest. They show that short-distance shifts towards dense vegetation or vertically downwards in canopies reduce...
