Succulent plants in arid ecosystems exhibit contrasting strategies to cope with high irradiance, thermal stress, and water limitation. We evaluated spatial distribution, microhabitat use, nurse identity, and orientation beneath canopies for two threa...
Traditional centennial olive groves represent ecologically valuable agroecosystems that support both biodiversity and cultural heritage across Mediterranean landscapes. On Lesvos Island, Greece, which marks the westernmost limit of the Persian squirr...
Mediterranean historic landscapes include relict forest ecosystems that preserve significant ecological and biocultural legacies while providing insights into ecosystem resilience under climate change. Among these, low-elevation beech forests (Fagus ...
Integrating semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPVs) into greenhouses offers a dual-use solution for land efficiency, although matching electricity generation with crop spectral needs remains a challenge. To address this, this study assesses the optica...
Urbanization intensifies microclimatic heterogeneity along the urban–forest gradient, where built morphology, vegetation structure, and hydrological processes interact to shape local thermal conditions. This systematic review synthesizes advanc...
Karst dolines, as geomorphologically diverse natural landforms, usually exhibit more or less steep microclimatic gradients that provide a mosaic of diverse microhabitat conditions, resulting in a high diversity of soil biota with numerous rare endemi...
Understanding microclimatic variability at the land–atmosphere interface is essential for improving knowledge of atmospheric moisture dynamics in heterogeneous mountainous ecosystems. This study analyzes atmospheric relative humidity and soil m...
Macromycetes are of great relevance to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, but habitat transformation can significantly alter the structure of macrofungal communities. Urbanization is regarded as a major threat to biological diversity; however...
Mountain forests play a key role in buffering local climate, yet their climate sensitivity is seldom mapped in a way that is directly usable for spatial planning. This study investigates how phenological thermal and vegetation variability are organiz...
The alpine life zone is perhaps the only biome that occurs globally where mountains are high enough. At latitudinally varying elevation, the alpine belt hosts small stature plants that vary greatly in morphology, anatomy and physiology. In this contr...
This study presents an integrated analysis of climate-driven phenology and infestation dynamics of the invasive oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) in foothill oak ecosystems of Rășinari, Romania. Using reconstructed microclimatic data for 20...
Bats spend most of their lives resting, socializing, and raising their young in roosts. Roost conditions may affect the lifetime energy expenditure of bats, and this could, in turn, influence fitness of individuals. Different kinds of roosts impose d...
In the context of urban renewal, spaces beneath elevated bridges are gradually becoming important public activity areas, with their microclimate and landscape quality influenced by multiple factors including bridge structure, vegetation configuration...
The indoor environment of buildings is of fundamental importance for the health of people and other living organisms residing in them. From this perspective, key factors include indoor temperature, relative humidity and the concentration of CO2 or ot...
Vernacular settlements in hot–humid regions preserve climate-responsive spatial knowledge, yet evidence on how linked outdoor, transitional, and indoor spaces jointly shape microclimate and thermal comfort remains limited. This study investigat...
Ningxia has emerged as a strategic hub for China’s photovoltaic (PV) industry by leveraging abundant solar energy resources and geoclimatic advantages. This study analyzed the spatiotemporal expansion trends and microclimatic impacts of PV inst...
In the current context of climate change, the impact of trees in agroforestry systems is expected to mitigate water and heat stresses, particularly in semi-arid environments. Within this framework, in a two-year trial conducted at INRAE in Southern F...
Forest management alters forest site; however, information is still limited about how different silvicultural treatments modify abiotic conditions. We compared the effects of four treatments from three different forestry systems on forest microclimat...
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are essential for peri-urban resilience; however, a critical research gap exists regarding the lack of species-specific eco-physiological validation for interventions within complex biocultural systems. This study address...
Air temperature is commonly used to represent plant thermal conditions, although temperatures within woody tissues and the soil–root zone can differ substantially under field conditions. This study characterized the thermal dynamics of xylem ti...
Frost prediction in tropical high-mountain agricultural regions is difficult because sparse meteorological networks must represent strong terrain-driven microclimatic variability. This article presents a topoclimatic graph dataset for frost predictio...
Climate warming is expected to increase fire frequency in many productive obligate seeder forests, where repeated high-intensity fire can initiate stand conversion to alternative states with contrasting structure. These vegetation–fire interactions m...
