Temperature responses of photosynthesis and respiration in evergreen trees from boreal to tropical latitudes

Kristine Y. Crous et al.

Summary: This study reviewed and analyzed the responses of photosynthesis and respiration to warming in 101 evergreen species. The results showed that temperature changes affected gas exchange rates and responsiveness differently across different climates. Tropical climates experienced larger decreases in net photosynthesis with warming. Gymnosperms were more sensitive to warming than broadleaved evergreens, with significant reductions in photosynthesis and respiration. The findings suggest that the acclimation of photosynthesis and increasing respiration rates may lead to a reduced carbon sink in future warmer climates. The predictable patterns of thermal acclimation provide a strong basis to improve modeling predictions of the future terrestrial carbon sink.

Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees

Jose Ignacio Querejeta et al.

Summary: This study investigates the variation in leaf nitrogen per area (N-area) and its relationship with oxygen and carbon isotopic composition in 34 Sahelian woody species, revealing the importance of leaf nitrogen content in determining stomatal conductance and water-use efficiency.

Vertical decoupling of soil nutrients and water under climate warming reduces plant cumulative nutrient uptake, water-use efficiency and productivity

Jose Ignacio Querejeta et al.

Summary: Global warming-induced topsoil desiccation alters plant water and nutrient utilization patterns. Plants shift towards utilizing water stored in deeper layers under warming, but this response cannot compensate for the reduction in nutrient uptake and carbon assimilation.

Enhancement of ecosystem carbon uptake in a dry shrubland under moderate warming: The role of nitrogen-driven changes in plant morphology

Dario Liberati et al.

Summary: The findings reveal that moderate night-time warming significantly influences the morphology of plants in Mediterranean shrublands, leading to a notable enhancement in ecosystem carbon fluxes. This is primarily attributed to increased leaf number, relatively larger leaves, and denser canopies supporting higher plant photosynthesis rates.
