Environmental variability is recognized as a critical
Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
Although environmental variability is recognized as a critical factor affecting ecological function, the effects of climate change on day‐to‐day weather variability and the resultant impacts on ecosystem function are still poorly understood
Evidence profile
Sourced from the abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2015 and 2023, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 157 times in total.

Our literature review identifies several ecosystem properties and many regions of the world for which there are insufficient data to fully evaluate the influence of climatic drivers, and the identified data gaps can be used by scientists to guide future research.

Abstract While the importance of ecosystem functioning is undisputed in the context of climate change and Earth system modeling, the role of short‐scale temporal variability of hydrometeorological forcing (~1 h) on the related ecosystem processes remains to be fully understood.
