Local experimental growth rates respond to macroclimate for the lichen epiphyteLobaria pulmonaria

Background: Bioclimatic models are widely applied in biogeography and conservation biology; however, the functional relevance of macroclimate as an explanation for species performance (e.g. establishment, growth and survival, fecundity) has been challenged. Aims: In this study, we aimed to determine whether the ecological performance of an epiphytic lichen is related to coarse-grained macroclimate. Methods: A meta-analysis was carried out to...
