Abiotic stresses increasingly threaten existing ecological and agricultural systems across the
globe. Plant roots perceive these stresses in the soil and adapt their architecture …

Temperature is a key environmental cue that influences the distribution and behavior of
plants globally. Understanding how plants sense temperature and integrate this information …

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

The origin of the temperature divergence between Holocene proxy reconstructions and
model simulations remains controversial, but it possibly results from potential biases in the …

Attempts to link physiological thermal tolerance to global species distributions have relied on
lethal temperature limits, yet many organisms lose fertility at sublethal temperatures. Here …

Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

Climate change is pushing temperatures beyond the thermal tolerance of many species.
Whether protected areas (PAs) can serve as climate change refugia for biodiversity has not …

Species distributions are conventionally modelled using coarse‐grained macroclimate data
measured in open areas, potentially leading to biased predictions since most terrestrial …

Tropical forests may be vulnerable to climate change,–if photosynthetic carbon uptake
currently operates near a high temperature limit,–. Predicting tropical forest function requires …

The physiological challenges posed by climate change for seasonal, perennial plants
include increased risk of heat waves, postbudbreak freezing ('false springs'), and droughts …
