Abstract Recent studies from mountainous areas of small spatial extent (<2500 km 2 ) suggest that fine‐grained thermal variability over tens or hundreds metres exceeds much the climate warming expected for coming decades. Such in temperature provides buffering to mitigate climate‐change impacts. Is this local restricted topographically complex terrains? To answer this, we here study across a 2500‐km wide latitudinal gradient N orthern E urope encompassing large array topographic...
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide maps soil bioclimatic variables a 1-km2 resolution for 0-5 5-15 cm depth. were created by calculating difference (i.e. offset) between situ measurements, based time...
Abstract Aim Previous research on how climatic niches vary across species ranges has focused a limited number of species, mostly invasive, and not, to date, been very conclusive. Here we assess the degree niche conservatism between distant populations native alpine plant that have separated for thousands years. Location European A lps F ennoscandia. Methods Of studied pool 888 terrestrial vascular occurring in both ennoscandia, used two complementary approaches test quantify climatic‐niche...
The Lady's slipper orchid Cypripedium calceolus L. is considered one of the most beautiful orchids Europe. Consequently, species has suffered from over‐collecting and now critically endangered in many countries. Although pollination success suspected to influence long‐term survival , relatively little known about identity its pollinators mainland Sweden – a region that comprises largest European populations. In order identify which pollinate eight representative populations Sweden, we...
Identifying the environmental drivers of population dynamics is crucial to predict changes in species abundances and distributions under climate change. Populations same might differ their responses as a result intraspecific variation. Yet importance such differences remains largely unexplored. We examined latitudinally distant populations forest moss Hylocomiastrum umbratum along microclimate gradients Sweden. transplanted mats from southern northern 30 sites with contrasting microclimates...
Factors driving the species richness and distribution of bryophytes are poorly studied not well understood, particularly in grasslands. We analysed occurrence bryophyte variation across 674 plots (0.5 m × 0.5 m) alvar vegetation (grassland on limestone pavement with thin or no soil) Öland (Sweden) relation to substrate characteristics chemistry, inundation frequency, grazing pressure geographical variables. found 148 taxa, including 11 nationally red-listed ones. Species per plot was...
Most species distribution models assume a close link between climatic conditions and distributions. Yet, we know little about the species' geographical distributions sensitivity of performance to local environmental factors. We studied three bryophyte transplanted at south- north-facing slopes in boreal forest landscape Sweden. At same sites, measured both air ground temperature. hypothesized that two southerly distributed Eurhynchium angustirete Herzogiella seligeri perform better on...
Abstract This study uses GIS-based modeling of incoming solar radiation to quantify fine-resolved spatiotemporal responses monthly average temperature, and diurnal temperature variation, at different times locations within a field area located on the eastern coast Sweden. Near-surface temperatures are measured by network sensors during spring summer 2011 then used as basis for model development testing. The finescale variation considers topography, distance from sea, observed variations in...
