What drives photosynthesis temperature sensitivity? New #GCB paper from #MichaletzLab grad #JosefGaren uses #FAsTeR to show it's 1‑day weather, not traits, origin climate, or phylogeny!

Plants are facing the #heat – from molecules to the biosphere –but predicting their responses isn’t easy. New @science.org paper w/ @mekevans.bsky.social & Jia Hu shows how plant responses to #warming can shift or reverse across #scales, and how new research can improve prediction. shorturl.at/mQB2c

Tree plumbing is hard. Xylem “pipes” must move water & not collapse. New study in #PlantCell&Environment (shorturl.at/CPF9s) led by #MichaletzLab PhD candidate @milossimovic.bsky.social shows how #mechanics (not just #hydraulics) shape xylem traits from leaves to roots, across 5 spp & 600k conduits.
