The Thermal Tolerances, Distributions, and Performances of Tropical Montane Tree Species

The Thermal Tolerances, Distributions, and Performances of Tropical Montane Tree Species

Due to global warming, many species will face greater risks of thermal stress, which can lead to changes in performance, abundance, and/or geographic distributions. In plants, high temperatures above a species-specific critical thermal maximum will permanently damage photosystem II, leading to decre...
