Some aspects of synoptic to subseasonal variability of currents in the southern Japan/East Sea (JES) were investigated using high-resolution current measurements and reanalysis model products. Current measurements were made at multiple moorings containing acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed during MJES (Mixing in the Japan/East Sea, 2021–2022) and LINKS (Linkages of Asian Marginal Seas, 1999–2000) programs. MJE...

Climate change is increasing the magnitude and frequency of precipitation extremes. Consequently, grassland community dynamics are destabilising and becoming harder to predict since models typically simulate long‐term (asymptotic) behaviour, potentially neglecting short‐term (transient) behaviour. Here, we use cover data from an experiment performed over 8 years to model short‐ and long‐term responses of three functional group...

Canopy-forming kelp forests act as foundation species that provide a wide range of ecosystem services along temperate coastlines. With climate change, these ecosystems are experiencing changing environmental and biotic conditions; however, the kelp distribution and drivers of change in British Columbia remain largely unexplored. This research aimed to use satellite imagery and environmental data to investigate the spatiotempor...

In the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, 80°E marks an important transition in ocean circulation between the greater Prydz Bay gyre to the west and the Australian Antarctic gyre to the east. Here, the submarine Kerguelen Plateau impedes the eastward flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), topographically steering the flow. Enhanced biological productivity associated with the southern plateau supports an important m...

Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why are they important? Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to understand and mitigate climate and biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an overview of the current status of microclimate ecology and biogeography in terrestrial ecosystems, and where this field is heading next. Microclimate investigations in ecology...
