Climate warming will influence photosynthesis via thermal effects and by altering soil moisture
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 – 11 . Both effects may be important for the vast areas of …

Plant respiration results in an annual flux of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to the atmosphere that is
six times as large as that due to the emissions from fossil fuel burning, so changes in either …

Populations near the warm edge of species ranges may be particularly sensitive to climate
change 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , but lack of empirical data on responses to warming represents a key gap …

• Plant light interception efficiency is a crucial determinant of carbon uptake by individual
plants and by vegetation. Our aim was to identify whole‐plant variables that summarize …

Rising temperatures caused by climate change could negatively alter plant ecosystems if
temperatures exceed optimal temperatures for carbon gain. Such changes may threaten …

Deforestation and climate change have the capacity to alter rainfall regimes, water availability,
and surface‐atmosphere flux of water and energy of tropical forests, especially in ecotonal…

Rates of tissue-level function have been hypothesized to decline as trees grow older and
larger, but relevant evidence to assess such changes remains limited, especially across a wide …

Photosynthetic biochemical limitation parameters (ie, V cmax , J max and J max :V cmax ratio)
are sensitive to temperature and water availability, but whether these parameters in cold …

Climate change has far-reaching effects on human and ecological systems, requiring
collaboration across sectors and disciplines to determine effective responses. To inform regional …

Plants often adjust their leaf mitochondrial (“dark”) respiration (R d ) measured at a standardized
temperature such as 20C (R 20 ) downward after experiencing warmer temperatures …
