Because of this, their leafy canopies play a crucial role in regulating the global climate – and mitigating global warming. But our recent research shows that rising temperatures will severely affect ...

Kristine Crous Warming the leaves of tropical rainforest trees To test this theory, we set up an experiment in the Daintree rainforest focusing on tropical trees between 15 and 30 metres tall.
