Introduction Mycorrhizal associations are found in the majority of terrestrial plants (Wang and Qiu 2006, Kivlin et al. 2011) and are increasingly seen as fundamental drivers of plant community composition and ecosystem functioning (Klironomos et al. 2011, Wagg et al. 2014, Neuenkamp et al. 2018).

AbstractTemperature is a fundamental driver of species distribution and ecosystem functioning. Yet, our knowledge of the microclimatic conditions experienced by organisms inside tropical forests remains limited. This is because ecological studies often rely on coarse-gridded temperature estimates representing the conditions at 2 m height in an open-air environment (i.e., macroclimate).

The speed at which terrestrial organisms are shifting their ranges in response to climate is consistently lower than that predicted by models. However, the use of microclimate-based, rather than macroclimate-based, predictions virtually eliminates these discrepancies. It has been known for a while that predictions of how fast species have to shift their ranges in response to climate change can be way off the mark.
