[HTML][HTML] Basin-wide variation in tree hydraulic safety margins predicts the carbon balance of Amazon forests
Tropical forests face increasing climate risk,, yet our ability to predict their response to
climate change is limited by poor understanding of their resistance to water stress. Although …
