Prolonged warming and drought reduce canopy‐level net carbon uptake in beech and oak saplings despite photosynthetic and respiratory acclimation

Alvaro Ruben Poretti, Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Janisse Deluigi, Laura Mekarni, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency

Tree net carbon (C) uptake may decrease under global warming, as higher temperatures constrain photosynthesis while simultaneously increasing respiration. Thermal acclimation might mitigate this negative effect, but its capacity to do so under concurrent s ...
