Abstract:As one of the important ecological responses of ecosystem to global climate change, forest expansion can alter land surface energy budget and local microclimate. Land surface temperature (LST) and soil temperature (ST) indicate the above‐ and below‐ground thermal state, respectively. However, the lack of studies on the relationships between LST and ST changes after forest expansion hinders our understanding of the vegetation‐microclimate interactions, especially during the dormant season. We quantified the cha… Show more
