Evergreen species are widespread across the globe, representing two major plant functional
forms in terrestrial models. We reviewed and analysed the responses of photosynthesis and …

The response of tree growth to a change in temperature may differ in predictable ways.
Trees with conservative growth strategies may have little ability to respond to a changing …

To realistically simulate climate feedbacks from the land surface to the atmosphere, models
must replicate the responses of plants to environmental changes. Several processes …

While interest in photosynthetic thermal acclimation has been stimulated by climate
warming, comparing results across studies requires consistent terminology. We identify five …

Unknowns in future global warming are usually assumed to arise from uncertainties either in
the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions or in the sensitivity of the climate to …

Tropical forests contribute significantly to the global carbon cycle, but little is known about
the temperature response of photosynthetic carbon uptake in tropical species, and how this …

The increasing air temperatures central to climate change predictions have the potential to
alter forest ecosystem function and structure by exceeding temperatures optimal for carbon …

The large‐scale loss of Amazonian rainforest under some future climate scenarios has
generally been considered to be driven by increased drying over Amazonia predicted by …

The future of tropical forests has become one of the iconic issues in climate-change science.
A number of studies that have explored this subject have tended to focus on the output from …

The temperature sensitivity of physiological processes and growth of tropical trees remains a
key uncertainty in predicting how tropical forests will adjust to future climates. In particular …
