Rising heat leaves 57M hectares of tropical forests unable to photosynthesise efficiently
Tropical forests are experiencing critical heat thresholds impacting photosynthesis. Millions of hectares already exceed average critical temperature limits. Excessive heat reduces the efficiency of trees capturing atmospheric carbon. Projections indicate significant future increases in heat-stressed forest areas. Some species may adapt, but adaptation speed remains uncertain.
