Feeling the heat: understanding the impact of high temperatures on future tree functioning under elevated CO2

Photosynthesis is a process vital to plant growth and is highly sensitive to temperature (Crous et al. 2022). When CO. 2. is high, plants close their leaf pores (stomata) to save water - but this traps heat and makes increases leaf temperatures (Fauset et al. Read more
