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 …

Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute
toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple …

The global distribution of the optimum air temperature for ecosystem-level gross primary
productivity (T opt eco) is poorly understood, despite its importance for ecosystem carbon …

Improving the accuracy of estimates of forest carbon exchange is a central priority for
understanding ecosystem response to increased atmospheric CO 2 levels and improving …

Because of global warming, Earth's ecosystems have been experiencing more frequent and
severe heatwaves. Heatwaves are expected to tip terrestrial carbon sequestration by …

Net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate (A n) decreases at leaf temperatures above a
relatively mild optimum (T opt) in most higher plants. This decline is often attributed to …

Accurate representation of photosynthesis in terrestrial biosphere models (TBM s) is
essential for robust projections of global change. However, current representations vary …

Here I present the R package'plantecophys', a toolkit to analyse and model leaf gas
exchange data. Measurements of leaf photosynthesis and transpiration are routinely …

Stomatal conductance (gs) is a key land-surface attribute as it links transpiration, the
dominant component of global land evapotranspiration, and photosynthesis, the driving …

Stomatal regulation presumably evolved to optimize CO2 for H2O exchange in response to
changing conditions. If the optimization criterion can be readily measured or calculated, then …
