Jonas Lembrechts

【个人介绍】Dr. Jonas Lembrechts is an Assistant Professor in Ecological Scaling at Utrecht University where he leads an international research team studying how biodiversity responds to environmental change across spatial and temporal scales. He coordinates the global Microclimate Ecology & Biogeography network, which compiles in situ microclimate time series data from over 120 countries, and co-coordinates the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) and Ecological Fractal Network (EcoFracNet), two networks focused on scaling up of biodiversity-related research questions. His research bridges ecology, biogeography, and data science, focusing on understanding how fine-scale climatic conditions shape ecosystems and species distributions under global change. Currently, his strongest focus lies on developing high-resolution global models of microclimate change to better predict biodiversity responses to accelerating local climate shifts.

【报告题目】Microclimate Change and Its Implications for Species Redistributions

【报告摘要】Global climate change is often measured and modeled at coarse spatial resolutions, yet organisms experience and respond to climate at much finer scales. Microclimates - local temperature and moisture conditions near the ground - can buffer or amplify regional climate trends, creating complex mosaics of exposure to warming. In this talk, I will explore how microclimate change is accelerating in certain ecosystems, how these fine-scale variations reshape the distribution of species, and why ignoring them can lead to biased predictions of biodiversity responses to climate change. Drawing on global data from the Microclimate Ecology & Biogeography network and local and regional case studies, I will show how integrating microclimate dynamics into ecological forecasts can reveal hidden refugia, identify emerging hotspots of change, and improve conservation strategies in a rapidly warming world.

【报告题目】不确定的未来：植物能否赶上全球变化的速度？

【报告摘要】 竺可桢先生曾说：“一个地方的气候变化，一定要影响植物种类和动物种类”。很多植物不能扩散很远的距离，那它们是否能够赶上全球变化的速度呢？本报告将介绍研究团队在亚热带、温带、寒带等开展的植物地理学与群落生态学研究工作，探究植物在气候变化和人类干扰背景下的存活与生长动态、沿纬度和海拔等的迁移扩散、物种与群落的响应与适应等，分享基于ForestGEO和CForBio大样地开展的植物群落动态的一点探索工作。
