Microclimate and forest density drive plant population dynamics under climate change

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 24 July 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01744-y

The impacts of microclimate on future plant population dynamics are poorly understood. The authors use large-scale transplant climate change experiments to show the contribution of forest microclimates to population dynamics and project the distributions of 12 common understorey plants.
