ForestTemp: sub-canopy microclimate temperatures of European forests

Combining more than 1,200 time series of in situ near-surface forest temperatures with topographical, biological and macroclimatic variables in a machine learning model, we predicted the monthly offset for minimum, mean and maximum temperature between sub-canopy temperature at 15 cm above the surface and free-air temperature over the period 2000-2020 at a spatial resolution of 25 x 25 m² across Europe.When using any of these layers, please cite:  Haesen et al.
