- Intervention effect Water stress reduced soybean above-ground dry matter by 39–40 % relative to normal irrigation.
- Intervention effect The high-temperature zone yielded 35–36 % less soybean dry matter than the low-temperature zone.
- Intervention effect Combined heat and water stress reduced soybean dry matter by over 60 % relative to the low-temperature zone with normal irrigation.
- Association Before pod development, soybean net assimilation and crop growth rates were strongly correlated.
- Mechanism Under combined heat and water stress, lower leaf water potential led to reduced stomatal conductance and photosynthesis in soybean.
- Mechanism Under combined stress, impaired leaf physiology suppressed soybean net assimilation, growth and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Elevated temperature reversed the soybean water use efficiency increase under water stress in 2024.
