Hurray! My 1st first-author paper is now published - open-access - in @MethodsEcolEvol 🥳doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
"Slope and equilibrium: A parsimonious and flexible approach to model #microclimate" ⛱️🌡️
Let me tell you what this new method is all about...
As ecologists, we know that temperature matters to organisms... And especially #microclimate temperature -locally experienced by biodiversity- rather than just the available coarse-grained temperature, which is based on weather station data (macroclimate, resolution 1 to 9 km) Weather stations are unlike...
So, we want to predict #microclimate from macroclimate, using vegetation / topography drivers.
The usual approach is to model offsets (the difference between T°micro and T°macro), and it works, but with some drawbacks... We argue for an alternative method to model microclimate! A ravine with forest cover ...
