Submit your abstract by 30.4.2024 meb2024.com if you wish to present at the 2nd Microclimate Ecology and Biogeography conference 26.-29.8.2024 in Helsinki, Finland. Welcome to the happiest country in the world! 📸: Julia Kivelä/Helsinki Partners

Just out nature ⬇️ You may know about climate velocity metrics in km/yr along the lat-long plane 🌎 But what about vertical velocities in elevation in 🏔 ? We published the 1st map of isotherm velocities in elevation (m/yr) across mountains worldwide ⬇️ shorturl.at/ilqDM

Interested in our latest thermophilization paper in NEE, but the short version? 🌲Our briefing ''Extinction drives the climate change-induced reshuffling of forest plant communities'' is avalaible. link below ⬇️⬇️

The new MIREN Rock survey is looking pretty promising, based on our first scouting day at 'les Rochers de Freÿr' in southern Belgium. If you need further convincing to join our global cliff survey, the pictures in this blog from the field might be it! the3dlab.org/2024/04/02/sco…

If you are interested in climate-driven biodiversity redistribution Species On The Move Conference & you haven't read the paper from Paulo Mateus Martins (Paulo Mateus Martins et al.) PNASNews, then you should ⬇️ It's amazing work & the analytical workflow is outstanding 👌 shorturl.at/exUW7

Now in GEB Journal: Microclimate, an important part of ecology and biogeography 💧☀️🌡️ Paper led by me & Jonas Lembrechts Koenraad Van Meerbeek Pieter De Frenne and collaboratively written by 97 participants of #MEB2022 - thank you! And see you at MEB2024 in August in Finland! A thread ⬇️

The SoilTemp-network hoped to accelerate the foundation of microclimate science as a global discipline. With a new perspective piece in GEB Journal, we put that ambition into words. Let me tell you why this paper is so important 👇 the3dlab.org/2024/04/09/mic…

This article was a huge collaborative effort, thank you everyone! 🥳 We documented the entire writing process as an easy-to-follow workflow chart which is published with the article in its supplementary materials. We also asked feedback on the process, and this is published too!

A NEW global paper by the MIREN network! And an intriguing one: we checked the impact of mountain roads on the dominant mycorrhizal community worldwide. In this summary👇, I'll show you how remarkably consistent these effects were... the3dlab.org/2024/04/10/a-d…

SoilMoist: a first glimpse into all the soil moisture data collected into the SoilTemp database

Super interesting PhD defense this Friday: PhD candidate Vilna Tyystjärvi and opponent Marc Macias-Fauria will discuss boreal and tundra microclimates 🌲🏔️🌡️ Live stream link: helsinginyliopisto.etapahtuma.fi/Kalenteri/Engl…

What is your highest elevation for TOMST ? Mine is above 4000 m from #Nepal #Himalaya #Treeline #Himalaya #Field

I can't stress enough how simply awesome this conference is for microclimate enthusiasts. It's the perfect size to spark close collaborations yet feels global, it brings together all the hot stuff in the field, and is in beautiful Finland! Join now, or wait 2 more years...

6200 m a.s.l. #Ladakh #Himalaya #TMS_loggers

🚨Job alert: 2 PhD positions in Ecology 🚨 Exciting Opportunity! We are hiring two PhD researchers for the ERC-funded FUTURENATURE project. Join us to explore functional assisted migration of plant species to shape future natural ecosystems! 🌍🌱 kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs… 🕙Aug 15!

Proximal #microclimate improves ecological predictions! Read a new collaborative paper from the SoilTemp led by Dave Klinges doi.org/10.1111/geb.13…

Not spatial resolution, not temporal resolution, but climate proximity is what matters. Indeed, in a new paper we show a 247% (!) improvement in ecological model performance using proximal microclimate data. I break this concept down for you here ⬇️ the3dlab.org/2024/06/28/pro…

A truly important paper (a landmark paper, I'd say), led by the always amazing Dave Klinges, now published in GEB Journal. With a whole bunch of great minds from SoilTemp onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…
