Heat negatively affects photosynthesis, thus tree growth and eventually survivability. The
light-dependent photosynthesis reactions are considered highly heat sensitive; therefore, we …

The assisted migration of resistant seeds and seedlings may be a key to mitigating the
effects of climate change on the productivity and composition of forest ecosystems. These …

The stability of monocultural, even-aged spruce forests at lower altitudes in Central Europe
is seriously threatened by the prospects of global climate change. The thermostability and …

Climate change‐related environmental stress has been recognized as a driving force in
accelerating forest mortality over the last decades in Central Europe. Here, we aim to …

Key message The acclimation of silver fir to the conditions of the plantation sites has greater
influence on PSII thermostability and performance than does on local adaptation. Abstract …

The temperature dependence of chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics and their capacity
to recover from heat stress were investigated in two Mediterranean evergreen tree species …

Photosynthesis in evergreen conifers is characterized by down-regulation in autumn and
rapid up-regulation in spring. This seasonal pattern is largely driven by temperature, but the …

With climate warming, the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events such as heat
waves increase the risk of temperature-induced leaf damage. Severe damage can …

The photosynthetic responses to the combined effect of drought and heat stress were
studied in leaves of 19-years-old European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees originating from …

Photosynthesis rates and electron transport are key physiological traits that distinguish the
successional status of plants (early successional–ES, and late successional–LS) in a …
