New paper: More tree species ➡️ less heat peaks 🌳🌡️ Below the #forest canopy it is cooler during heat waves and warmer during cold waves than in the surrounding area.
This temperature buffering is all the stronger the more tree species grow in the forest. The new study by researchers from #iDiv, @UniHalle and #UniLeipzig was carried out in the large-scale planted forest experiment #BEFChina.
