We paired #microclimate with #LiDAR to create 5m resolution temperature grids for the #BohemianForestEcosystem (NP Šumava and NP Bavarian Forest)🍁
Beside large microclimatic variability, our data reveals also systematic differences from #SoilTemp, #ForestTemp and #ERA5-Land

And additionally some @mebnetwork.bsky.social soil temperature data readout (former #SoilTemp) at 3000m sites at our #LTSERmatsch/ #LTSERmazia outdoor lab.
Quite some snow left this year, also in this dry inner-Alpine valley.

🚨 To all #microclimate aficionados, this is a major update of the #SoilTemp initiative which has just metamorphosed into the beautiful #MEB network for #microclimate #ecology & #biogeography #network
The #SoilTemp initiative 🐛 turns to #MEB network 🦋
⬇️ Check it out ⬇️
#microclimate #SoilTemp project is dead!
Long live to the new #MEB-network!
For sure, a new dataset coming for #soiltemp @jlembrechts.bsky.social @remybeugnon.bsky.social @sandraslowinska.bsky.social @jonlen.bsky.social
#SoilTemp related end-of-year present: we are currently finalizing the tiny details of a beautiful manuscript about our equally beautiful database!
All those 1000+ who ever submitted data to the database should expect an email in their mailbox in the first weeks of the new year!

The moment you've all been waiting for! "Ten practical guidelines for #microclimate research in terrestrial ecosystems".
Our #OA paper now out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social led by @pieterdefrenne.bsky.social and #SoilTemp core group

A meteorological station in the South Tyrolean valley of Matsch/Mazia. Some parts are snow covered, somewhere else the wind has kept the slopes snow-free.
Last field work day for 2024 🤠
Snowy, not too cold but very nice view over the #LTSER area Matschertal/Val Mazia.
Replaced a #SoilTemp logger at 2500m that was destroyed by cows...
No metal cage resists a cow's rage 🐄
Further, checked one of @euracalpenv.bsky.social 's meteo station at 2400m.

In this last days of a #GoldenAutumn, I did some readouts of our #SoilTemp sensors that are installed high up in the Southtyrolean #mountains.
Ready to be sent to @jlembrechts.bsky.social and colleagues 😎

#AlpSoil_Lab field work day 🤠
Despite a rainy start, the weather was quite friendly up at 2500m at @euracalpenv.bsky.social 's #LTSER site Matsch/Mazia in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #Italy
Checked some #SoilTemp loggers for fresh #alpine soil temperature data from our (dry) grassland spots.
