Moving beyond the incorrect but useful paradigm: reevaluating big-leaf and multilayer plant canopies to model biosphere-atmosphere fluxes–a review
The land surface models that provide surface fluxes of energy and mass to the atmosphere
in weather forecast and climate models typically represent plant canopies as a homogenous …

Tropical forests are approaching critical temperature thresholds
The critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to
fail averages approximately 46.7° C (T crit). However, it remains unclear whether leaf …

No evidence of canopy-scale leaf thermoregulation to cool leaves below air temperature across a range of forest ecosystems
Understanding and predicting the relationship between leaf temperature (Tleaf) and air
temperature (Tair) is essential for projecting responses to a warming climate, as studies …

Canopy temperatures strongly overestimate leaf thermal safety margins of tropical trees
Current estimates of temperature effects on plants mostly rely on air temperature, although it
can significantly deviate from leaf temperature (T leaf). To address this, some studies have …

Climate and functional traits jointly mediate tree water‐use strategies
Tree water use is central to plant function and ecosystem fluxes. However, it is still unknown
how organ‐level water‐relations traits are coordinated to determine whole‐tree water‐use …

High heat tolerance, evaporative cooling, and stomatal decoupling regulate canopy temperature and their safety margins in three European oak species
Heatwaves and soil droughts are increasing in frequency and intensity, leading many tree
species to exceed their thermal thresholds, and driving wide‐scale forest mortality …
