The number and intensity of heat waves has increased, and this trend is likely to continue
throughout the 21st century. Often, heat waves are accompanied by drought conditions. It is …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

This review attempts to synthesize the available literature on tropical dry forests and their
dynamics in the context of climate change and thereby identifies possible gaps and priority …

Tropical forests may be vulnerable to climate change,–if photosynthetic carbon uptake
currently operates near a high temperature limit,–. Predicting tropical forest function requires …

Forests and their soils contain the majority of the earth's terrestrial carbon stocks. Changes
in patterns of tree growth can have a huge impact on atmospheric cycles, biogeochemical …

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 …

Before the end of this century, tropical rainforests will be subject to climatic conditions that
have not existed anywhere on Earth for millions of years. These forests are the most species …

We used leaf gas exchange, sap flow, and eddy covariance measurements to investigate
whether high temperature substantially limits CO2 uptake at the LBA‐ECO (Large‐scale …

Respiration is instrumental for survival and growth of plants, but increasing costs of
maintenance processes with warming have the potential to change the balance between …
