Diversity affects microclimate temperature and humidity: an overview of the evidence and major unanswered questions

Alexandra J. Wright, John English, Claudia Guimarães‐Steinicke

Climate change is increasing global temperatures, increasing atmospheric drying, and driving more severe and frequent drought. Plants can cool and humidify microclimates through sensible and latent heat exchange. Higher diversity plant communities can modify microclimates more strongly than lower diversity plant communities, …

Applying complementarity in ecological restoration

Mink Ryan Verschoor, Yann Hautier, George A. Kowalchuk, Ralph J. M. Temmink et autres

Climate change and biodiversity loss decrease ecosystem functioning and compromise the delivery of nature's contributions to people. Restoration may help address these global challenges, but systems are unique and goals diverse. We review how translating complementarity theory into restoration practice in terrestrial, …

Simulating atmospheric drought: Silica gel packets dehumidify mesocosm microclimates

S. Varghese, Beatriz A. Aguirre, Forest Isbell, Alexandra J. Wright

As global temperatures rise, droughts are becoming more frequent and severe. To predict how drought might affect plant communities, ecologists have traditionally designed drought experiments with controlled watering regimes and rainout shelters. Both treatments have proven effective for simulating soil drought. However, …

Plant traits, microclimate temperature and humidity: A research agenda for advancing nature‐based solutions to a warming and drying climate

Alexandra J. Wright, Regina Mae Francia

Abstract Climate models predict at least another 1.5°C warming in the next 75 years. This warming drives increased atmospheric drying and a global increase in the severity and duration of ecological drought. Vegetation has the capacity to reduce microclimate temperatures and atmospheric …

The impacts of rising vapour pressure deficit in natural and managed ecosystems

Kimberly A. Novick, Darren L. Ficklin, Charlotte Grossiord, Alexandra G. Konings et autres

An exponential rise in the atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the most consequential impacts of climate change in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising VPD has negative and cascading effects on nearly all aspects of plant function including photosynthesis, water status, growth and …

Atmospheric drying and soil drying: Differential effects on grass community composition

Alexandria Huynh, Beatriz A. Aguirre, John English, D. M. Guzman et autres

Global surface temperatures are projected to increase in the future; this will modify regional precipitation regimes and increase global atmospheric drying. Despite many drought studies examining the consequences of reduced precipitation, there are few experimental studies exploring plant responses to atmospheric drying …

Drought experiments need to incorporate atmospheric drying to better simulate climate change

Alexandra J. Wright, Scott L. Collins

Abstract Climate models predict more frequent, prolonged, and extreme droughts in the future. Therefore, drought experiments varying in amount and duration across a range of biogeographical scenarios provide a powerful tool for estimating how drought will affect future ecosystems. Past experimental work …
