Abstract As the global climate warms, a key question is how increased leaf temperatures will affect tree physiology and coupling between air in forests. To explore impact of increasing on plant performance open air, we warmed leaves canopy two mature evergreen forests, temperate Eucalyptus woodland tropical rainforest. The heaters consistently maintained at target 4 °C above ambient temperatures. Ambient (Tleaf) were mostly coupled to (Tair), but times, could be 8–10 warmer than temperatures, especially full sun. At both sites, Tleaf was higher (Tair > 25 °C), cooler lower Tair, contrary ‘leaf homeothermy hypothesis’. Warmed showed significantly stomatal conductance (−0.05 mol m−2 s−1 or −43% across species) net photosynthesis (−3.91 μmol −39%), with similar rates respiration common temperature (no acclimation).

Abstract Quantifying the stomatal responses of plants to global change factors is crucial for modeling terrestrial carbon and water cycles. Here we synthesize worldwide experimental data show that conductance ( g s ) decreases with elevated dioxide (CO 2 ), warming, decreased precipitation, tropospheric ozone pollution, but increases increased precipitation nitrogen (N) deposition. These vary treatment magnitude, plant attributes (ambient , vegetation biomes, functional types), climate. All two-factor combinations (except warming + N deposition) significantly reduce their individual effects are commonly additive tend be antagonistic as effect sizes increased. We further rising CO would dominate future across biomes. The results our meta-analysis provide a foundation understanding predicting biomes guiding manipulative experiment designs in real world where do not occur isolation.

Summary The strong covariation of temperature and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in nature limits our understanding the direct effects on leaf gas exchange. Stable isotopes CO 2 H O provide mechanistic insight into physiological biochemical processes during We conducted combined exchange online isotope discrimination measurements four common European tree species across a range 5–40°C, while maintaining constant leaf‐to‐air VPD (0.8 kPa) without soil water limitation. Above optimum for photosynthesis (30°C) under controlled environmental conditions, stomatal conductance ( g s ) net rate A n decoupled all tested species, with increasing but decreasing. During this decoupling, mesophyll (cell wall, plasma membrane chloroplast conductance) consistently significantly decreased among species; however, reduction did not lead to reductions concentration at surface stroma. question conventional that diffusional limitations contribute high temperatures. suggest stomata membranes could work strategically facilitate transpiration cooling supply, thus alleviating heat stress photosynthetic function, albeit cost reduced water‐use efficiency.

Nowadays, climate change is recognized as one of the biggest problems world facing, posing a potential threat to environment and almost all aspects human life. Since United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, many efforts have been made mitigate change, with no considerable results. According projections, temperatures will continue rise, extreme weather events become more frequent, prolonged, intense. Reflecting these concerns, 2015 Paris Agreement was adopted cornerstone for reducing impact aiming limit global warming below 2 °C even keep temperature rise 1.5 °C. To achieve this international goal, focused mitigation actions be required. has strong forests, enhancing their growth but also risks them.

However, existing models that predict these climate‐driven range dynamics often fail to adequately account for intricacies local adaptation individual specialization, treating species as having uniform responses without accounting variability. This oversight highlights need enhance our understanding evolutionary implications intraspecific intrageneric variability, particularly with respect photosynthetic acclimation plants. To explore how widespread plant adapt we used cosmopolitan genus Phragmites a model. We assessed variance–covariance matrix gene‐based traits quantify genetic variability examine correlations among acclimatization thermal gradient includes low‐, moderate‐, high‐temperature regimes. Our findings revealed clinal variations, exemplified by increased robustness plants from lower latitudes, were closely related latitudinal origins genotypes manifested more prominently cooler environments.

Summary As temperature rises, net carbon uptake in tropical forests decreases, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. High temperatures can limit photosynthesis directly, for example by reducing biochemical capacity, or indirectly through rising vapor pressure deficit (VPD) causing stomatal closure. To explore independent effects of and VPD on we analyzed data from upper canopies two Panama with Generalized Additive Models. Stomatal conductance consistently decreased increasing VPD, statistically accounting increased optimum ( T opt ) trees a VPD‐confounded apparent c . 30–31°C to VPD‐independent 33–36°C, while lianas no was reached within measured range. Trees exhibited similar responses both forests, despite 1500 mm difference mean annual rainfall.

Failing account when determining misattributes causal mechanism thereby hinders advancement mechanistic understanding global forest dynamics.
