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 …

Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to
atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants …

While interest in photosynthetic thermal acclimation has been stimulated by climate
warming, comparing results across studies requires consistent terminology. We identify five …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient, and an important component of plant
metabolism. However, little is known about the effects of low P availability on P absorption …

Before the end of this century, tropical rainforests will be subject to climatic conditions that
have not existed anywhere on Earth for millions of years. These forests are the most species …

Vegetation productivity first increases and then decreases with temperature; and
temperature corresponding to the maximum productivity is called optimal temperature (Topt) …

Our study assessed the impact of a wide range of industrial‐age climate scenarios on leaf
respiration (R) in Eucalyptus saligna.• Well‐watered or sustained drought‐treated plants …

As rapid climate warming creates a mismatch between forest trees and their home
environment, the ability of trees to cope with warming depends on their capacity to …

Hot days are becoming hotter and more frequent, threatening wheat yields worldwide.
Developing wheat varieties ready for future climates calls for improved understanding of …
