Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

Predicted increases in future global temperatures require us to better understand the
dimensions of heat stress experienced by plants. Here we highlight four key areas for …

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme heat events. Ecological
responses to extreme heat will depend on vegetation physiology and thermal tolerance …

Exceeding thermal thresholds causes irreversible damage and ultimately loss of leaves. The
lowland tropics are among the warmest forested biomes, but little is known about heat …

As global warming progresses, agriculture will likely be impacted enormously by the
increasing heat stress (HS). Hence, future crops, especially in the southern Mediterranean …

Populus fremontii is among the most dominant, and ecologically important riparian tree
species in the western United States and can thrive in hyper‐arid riparian corridors. Yet, P …

The global distribution of vegetation is largely determined by climatic conditions and feeds
back into the climate system. To predict future vegetation changes in response to climate …

Climate warming may affect multiple aspects of plant life history, including important factors
such as germination responses and the key trade‐off between offspring size and number. As …

The frequency and severity of heatwave events are increasing, exposing species to
conditions beyond their physiological limits. Species respond to heatwaves in different ways …

Extreme heat events are becoming increasingly common, and the short‐term acclimation of
photosynthesis will have a large impact on plant performance. Trees in lowland tropical …
