How hot is my plant? Modelling global warming effects at the plant level

Aim. This project seeks to improve our understanding of the impact of global warming on plants in different microclimates, model the result of potential mitigation through rewilding, predict the effect on their genomes, and better link laboratory research to ecologically relevant processes.
