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, …

Biodiversity affects microclimate - plant diversity and functional traits driving temperature and humidity using proximal sensing.

Claudia Guimarães‐Steinicke, John English, Nicholas Sookhan, Alexandra Wright

Microclimate ecology conveys fundamental information about how organisms react to and feedback to influence climate change. Evidence shows that vegetation and its spatial variation modify microclimate temperature and relative humidity, mediating thermal regulation and energy exchange with the atmosphere by affecting vapour …

Environmental drivers of arthropod communities across the endangered predator Gambelia sila 's current and historic range

Jenna Braun, Michael Westphal, Marina Goldgisser, Kevin Padula et autres

Abstract Describing the habitat needs of endangered species is a major focus of applied conservation research. The blunt‐nosed leopard lizard ( Gambelia sila (Stejneger, 1890)) is a flagship endangered species endemic to the San Joaquin Valley of California, USA. Arthropods are an …

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 …

The effect of urban environments on the diversity of plants in unmanaged grasslands in Los Angeles, United States

John English, Kathryn E. Barry, Eric M. Wood, Alexandra J. Wright

Urbanization is a strong driver of plant diversity and may have complex effects on developed ecosystems. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether urban environments increase or decrease plant biodiversity compared with rural environments. Further, it is also unclear how non-native plant species contribute …

The effect of urban temperature gradients on grassland microclimate amelioration in Los Angeles, USA

John English, Alexandra J. Wright

Abstract Aim Microclimate amelioration between neighboring plants may be more common in environments with greater abiotic stress. This pattern has been shown in deserts, alpine systems, and forests, but has not been explored along urban severity gradients. In this study we hypothesized …
