• Global maps of soil temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Aalto, Juha; Ashcroft, Michael B.; De Frenne, Pieter; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2022 , Article)
      Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
    • Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails 

      Potapov, Anton M.; Guerra, Carlos A.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Babenko, Anatoly; Bellini, Bruno C.; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)
      Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among the most abundant soil arthropods regulating soil fertility and flow of energy through above- and belowground ...
    • Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems 

      Rixen, Christian; Høye, Toke Thomas; Macek, Petr; Aerts, Rien; Alatalo, Juha; ... more authors ( Canadian Science Publishing , 2022 , Article)
      Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and ...
