Just out! @awcheesman.bsky.social et al show VPD and CO2 affect the thermal sensitivity of stomatal function in tropical trees, we demonstrate how the model parameter g1 increases with temperature and how accounting for this can improve predictions of stomatal conductance

A row of 30-yr-old Eucalyptus dawsonii at Currency Creek Arboretum, with symptoms of 'ginger syndrome' caused by ongoing drought stress.
The 3rd photo is the same row of trees in 2019, before the record dry conditions here. Note their pale-coloured trunks, typical of healthy trees of the species.

New paper out in @newphyt.bsky.social by Tiantian Pan and others incl. @ianjwright.bsky.social @profchoat.bsky.social:
Fast growth comes at a cost: Fast-growing Eucalyptus are less drought-resistant, revealing a clear growth–survival trade-off.
