Shade-tolerant temperate broad-leaved trees are more sensitive to thermal stress than light-demanding species during a moderate heatwave
With climate warming, the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events such as heat waves increase the risk of temperature-induced leaf damage. Severe damage can significantly weaken forest trees and lead to accelerated forest mortality. Cross-species studies investigating the thermal sensitivi...
