Summary While trees can acclimate to warming, there is concern that tropical rainforest species may be less able because they have adapted a relatively stable thermal environment. Here we tested whether the physiological adjustments warming differed among Australian tropical, subtropical and warm‐temperate trees. Photosynthesis respiration temperature responses were quantified in six seedlings of climates grown across four growth temperatures glasshouse. Temperature‐response models fitted...
Abiotic stresses have considerable negative impact on Mediterranean plant ecosystems and better comprehension of the genetic control response adaptation trees to global changes is urgently needed. The single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay could be considered a good estimator DNA damage in an individual eukaryotic cell. This method has been mainly employed animal tissues, because wall represents obstacle for extraction nuclei; moreover, woody species, especially sclerophyll plants,...
Plant respiration can acclimate to changing environmental conditions and vary between species as well biome types, although belowground responses ongoing climate warming are not understood. Understanding the thermal acclimation capacity of root (Rroot) in relation increasing temperatures is therefore critical elucidating a key uncertainty plant function response warming. However, degree temperature Rroot rainforest trees how chemical morphological traits related unknown. Here we investigated...
Abstract Background and Aims Tropical forests exchange more carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome. Yet, uncertainty in projected balance over next century is roughly three-times greater for tropics ecosystems. Our limited knowledge of tropical plant physiological responses, including photosynthetic, to climate change a substantial source our ability forecast global sink. Methods We used meta-analytic approach, focusing on photosynthetic temperature address...
