Heat Resistance of Trees

In this Monday episode of Talking Trees, we explore how urban trees respond to rising temperatures and what determines their heat resistance in the face of climate change and the urban heat island effect. We discuss: The physiological and biochemical effects of heat on trees, including impacts on photosynthesis, respiration, and water regulationMethods to assess heat tolerance, from leaf-level tests to remote sensing technologiesWhy urban trees are particularly vulnerable due to limited rooti...
