The number and intensity of heat waves has increased, and this trend is likely to continue
throughout the 21st century. Often, heat waves are accompanied by drought conditions. It is …

The frequency and intensity of heat stress events globally have increased over the past 20
years. Climatic modeling predicts that this trend will likely continue throughout the 21st …

Leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA) is a product of leaf thickness (T) and of density (D).
Greater T is associated with greater foliar photosynthetic rates per unit area because of …

There is a strong natural light gradient from the top to the bottom in plant canopies and along
gap-understorey continua. Leaf structure and photosynthetic capacities change close to …

Photosynthesis rate (An) becomes unstable above a threshold temperature, and the
recovery upon return to low temperature varies because of reasons not fully understood. We …

Boreal forests are experiencing dramatic climate change, having warmed 1.0°–1.9° C over
the last century. Yet forest regeneration practices are often still dictated by a fixed seed zone …

The rate of constitutive isoprenoid emissions from plants is driven by plant emission capacity
under specified environmental conditions (ES, the emission factor) and by responsiveness …

We tested whether snow gum (E ucalyptus pauciflora) trees growing in thermally contrasting
environments exhibit generalizable temperature (T) response functions of leaf respiration …

摘要耐荫性是植物在低光环境下的生存和生长能力, 对森林植物群落演替起重要作用,
植物对遮荫的适应机制已成为生态学的研究热点. 本文综述了森林植物的耐荫性及其在形态和 …

Photosynthetic, morphological, and growth responses to light environment can be useful
measurements to determine favorable habitat conditions for the conservation of endangered …
