Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evalua...

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org

Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.

New in @sciencemagazine, a review on Scaling plant responses to heat (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). Increased temperature along with acute heat waves threaten the ability of terrestrial vegetation to act as a carbon sink, but predicting how plants will respond to heat is challenging.
