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 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 …

High‐temperature tolerance in plants is important in a warming world, with extreme heat
waves predicted to increase in frequency and duration, potentially leading to lethal heating …

The frequency and intensity of heat stress events globally have increased over the past 20
years. Climatic modeling predicts that this trend will continue throughout the 21st century …

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 …

Although tropical forests account for only a fraction of the planet's terrestrial surface, they
exchange more carbon dioxide with the atmosphere than any other biome on Earth, and …

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 …

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 …

Due to global warming, many species will face greater risks of thermal stress, which can
lead to changes in performance, abundance, and/or geographic distributions. In plants, high …

Multivariate leaf trait correlations are hypothesized to originate from natural selection on
carbon economics traits that control lifetime leaf carbon gain, and energy balance traits …
