Microclimates slow and alter the direction of climate velocities in tropical forests - Nature Climate Change
The authors model near-ground and within-canopy microclimates in a tropical montane rainforest. They show that short-distance shifts towards dense vegetation or vertically downwards in canopies reduce...
