We show that plants align their optimal photosynthesis temperature with average growth temperatures! We can model this thermal acclimation across species and biomes without relying on plant functional types. All ready for improving model realism and future projections. 🌿📈 doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Analyzing data from over 500'000 trees, we found that warmer, wetter springs can increase mortality, likely due to rapid structural canopy growth (“overshoot”), pest proliferation, and disrupted phenology. Different drought types and warmer winters also play a key role. 🌦️🌳 doi.org/10.5194/egus...
