We need #microclimate data to understand demographic responses to climate! We illustrate this with 3 years of demographic data across 37 populations of a long-lived forest herb: Lathyrus vernus.

We transplanted 2 moss species with different climate niches (one "warm" species, one "cold" species), together & alone across a latitudinal gradient in 🇸🇪. When growing alone both species responded positively to warmer 🌡️, but this reversed for the cold species when growing next to the warm species.

I am happy to be able to share the last paper from my PhD now published in Ecography:
doi.org/10.1111/ecog...
Here we show how competitive interactions can modify, and even reverse, the direct effects of climate on organism performance.
