Acclimation of mango (<i>Mangifera indica</i> cv. Calypso) to canopy light gradients—scaling from leaf to canopy Open
Mango (Mangifera indica L.), a leading tropical fruit crop, is a prime candidate for intensification through modern orchard-management techniques, including canopy manipulation to improve light interception. This study investigated how lea…

Local Adaptation Drives Leaf Thermoregulation in Tropical Rainforest Trees Open
Tropical forests play a critical role in biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and climate regulation, but are increasingly affected by heatwaves and droughts. Vulnerability to warming may vary within and between species because of phenotypi…

Ecotypic Variation in Leaf Thermoregulation and Heat Tolerance but Not Thermal Safety Margins in Tropical Trees Open
To avoid reaching lethal temperatures during periods of heat stress, plants may acclimate either their biochemical thermal tolerance or leaf morphological and physiological characteristics to reduce leaf temperature ( T leaf ). While plant…

Impacts of elevated temperature and vapour pressure deficit on leaf gas exchange and plant growth across six tropical rainforest tree species Open
Summary Elevated air temperature ( T air ) and vapour pressure deficit (VPD air ) significantly influence plant functioning, yet their relative impacts are difficult to disentangle. We examined the effects of elevated T air (+6°C) and VPD …

Similar patterns of leaf temperatures and thermal acclimation to warming in temperate and tropical tree canopies Open
As the global climate warms, a key question is how increased leaf temperatures will affect tree physiology and the coupling between leaf and air temperatures in forests. To explore the impact of increasing temperatures on plant performance…
