Microclimate research gained renewed interest over the last decade and its importance for many ecological processes is increasingly being recognized. Consequently, the call for high-resolution microclimatic temperature grids across broad spatial extents is becoming more pressing to improve ecological models. Here, we provide a new set of open-access bioclimatic variables for microclimate temperatures of European forests at 25 × 25 m2 resolution.
Keywords: ForestTemp; SoilTemp; biodiversity; boosted regression trees; climate change; ecosystem processes; forest microclimate; species distributions.
