Examining the potential thermal sensitivity of the model parameter g1 when accounting for the additive nature of underlying components including CO2 compensation point (Г*) and the marginal water cos...

Abstract. Mango (Mangifera indica L.), a leading tropical fruit crop, is a prime candidate for intensification through modern orchard-management techniques

New research reveals some rainforest tree species use self-cooling strategies to withstand rising temperatures, but others are more at risk.

In full sun, tropical leaves can become much hotter than the surrounding air. Their ability to cope can be a matter of life or death.

We tested whether tropical rainforest trees adjust their leaf traits and resulting leaf temperatures across their distributions within the Australian Wet Tropics. Using field measurements from across...

Temperatures above a critical threshold can increase leaf minimum conductance after cooling, evidencing a “thermal leaky legacy effect” that can reduce pla

An experiment in the Daintree rainforest found the rate of photosynthesis in leaves warmed by 4°C dropped by an average of 35% compared to non-warmed controls.

James Cook Univeristy says its Daintree Rainforest research station is "severely under-utilised", even though the canopy crane is one of only six in the tropics worldwide.
