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 …

Gross primary production (GPP) is partitioned to autotrophic respiration (R a) and net
primary production (NPP), the latter being used to build plant tissues and synthesize non …

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 …

Plant respiration constitutes a massive carbon flux to the atmosphere, and a major control on
the evolution of the global carbon cycle. It therefore has the potential to modulate levels of …

Ecosystem respiration (ER) is among the largest carbon fluxes between the biosphere and
the atmosphere. Understanding the temperature response of ER is crucial for predicting the …

The efficiency of carbon sequestration by the biological pump could decline in the coming
decades because respiration tends to increase more with temperature than photosynthesis …

Abstract Earth System Models typically use static responses to temperature to calculate
photosynthesis and respiration, but experimental evidence suggests that many plants …

While temperature responses of photosynthesis and plant respiration are known to
acclimate over time in many species, few studies have been designed to directly compare …

Land-atmosphere exchanges influence atmospheric CO2. Emphasis has been on
describing photosynthetic CO2 uptake, but less on respiration losses. New global datasets …

Plant respiration is an important contributor to the proposed positive global carbon‐cycle
feedback to climate change. However, as a major component, leaf mitochondrial ('dark') …
