Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Heat stress increased transpiration in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Heat stress reduced net assimilation in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Heat stress caused sharp declines in water-use efficiency in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Leaf cooling intensified under heat stress in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Under heat stress, leaf temperatures fell below air temperature in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Under moderate drought, restricted stomatal conductance reduced transpirational cooling relative to well-watered trees.
- Intervention effect Under moderate drought, leaf temperatures exceeded air temperature in the temperate tree species.
- Intervention effect Under moderate drought, heat-related leaf damage increased in the temperate tree species.
- Observation Isohydric Acer platanoides showed early stomatal closure and limited leaf cooling under heat stress.
- Observation Isohydric Acer platanoides showed severe leaf damage and poor recovery after heat stress.
- Observation Anisohydric Quercus robur maintained gas exchange with minimal leaf damage and rapid recovery under heat stress.
- Observation The temperate tree species differed markedly in their heat responses along the isohydric-anisohydric spectrum.
