A meta‐analysis of responses of C3 plants to atmospheric CO2: dose–response curves for 85 traits ranging from the molecular to the whole‐plant level
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 …

Drought response strategies define the relative contributions of hydraulic dysfunction and carbohydrate depletion during tree mortality
Plant survival during drought requires adequate hydration in living tissues and carbohydrate
reserves for maintenance and recovery. We hypothesized that tree growth and hydraulic …

Global variability in leaf respiration in relation to climate, plant functional types and leaf traits
Leaf dark respiration (Rdark) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global
carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf …

Thermal acclimation of photosynthesis: on the importance of adjusting our definitions and accounting for thermal acclimation of respiration
While interest in photosynthetic thermal acclimation has been stimulated by climate
warming, comparing results across studies requires consistent terminology. We identify five …

Leaf day respiration: low CO2 flux but high significance for metabolism and carbon balance
It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was
identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it …
