Managing canopy cover to preserve forest microclimate and diverse macroarthropod communities in times of drought

Forest canopies play a vital role in buffering macroclimatic conditions, creating stable microclimates that support species unable to survive under the surrounding climate. However, disturbances driven by climate change alongside management interventions can disrupt canopy cover, altering forest mic...
