Macro- and microclimate interactively shape species diversity of multiple taxa in mountain landscapes vist.ly/4esms #Macroclimate #Microclimate #Biodiversity

First, ask yourself whether or not you are interested in #proximal conditions for your study organism 🌳🍀🐟🦎🦋🐜🦉🐿 and if you really need to consider #microclimate processes as part of your study design or whether you can stick to #macroclimate estimates

We built a simple metric that synthesized #forest #microclimate #processes by linking air T°C in the understory, #microclimate, to air T°C from a nearby weather station, #macroclimate, before extracting the slope coefficient & log-transform it, so that negative values mean a #buffering effect
