Drone-informed microclimate modelling to improve species distribution models KU Leuven
The importance of microclimate as a driver of many biological phenomena has gained renewed attention in recent years, leading to a paradigm shift towards microclimate ecology. However, research in this field is strongly biased towards forest ecosystems, based on the premise that the difference between the available macroclimate data and microclimate conditions is largest in forests, due to the buffering capacity of tree canopies. However, ...
