The article "Microclimate in Forest Ecosystem and Landscape Ecology" by Jiquan Chen et al. explores the significance of microclimate in forest ecosystems and landscapes. Microclimate, defined as the suite of climatic conditions measured near the earth's surface, includes temperature, light, wind speed, and moisture. These environmental variables have been crucial for human activities and ecological processes such as plant regeneration, soil respiration, and wildlife habitat selection. The authors highlight how human activities and natural disturbances can modify the physical environment, affecting microclimatic conditions at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The article discusses the complex and nonlinear relationships between microclimate and biological processes, emphasizing the importance of monitoring multiple microclimatic variables to understand ecosystem dynamics. It also examines the variability of microclimate in forested landscapes, noting that understory microclimate plays a vital role in overstory canopy production, understory species distribution, and belowground processes. The authors provide examples of how microclimatic variables, such as solar radiation, air temperature, and soil moisture, respond differently to changes in forest structure, particularly in clearcut and riparian buffer areas. The article further explores the relationship between microclimate and landscape structure, showing how landform and vegetation patterns influence microclimatic conditions. It highlights the importance of considering microclimatic dynamics across different scales, from patches to ecotones and entire landscapes. The authors use wavelet analysis to detect multiscale patterns in canopy structure and microclimate, demonstrating that microclimatic responses to ecosystem structure vary across these scales. Finally, the article emphasizes the need for scaling in microclimate studies, recognizing that microclimatic environments and patterns are highly specific to individual ecosystems. It concludes by discussing the implications of microclimate manipulation for wildlife and ecosystem conservation, and the importance of quality control in climatic measurements.The article "Microclimate in Forest Ecosystem and Landscape Ecology" by Jiquan Chen et al. explores the significance of microclimate in forest ecosystems and landscapes.
