Towards a standard approach to investigating the Thermal Load Sensitivity of photosystem II via chlorophyll fluorescence

Pieter A. Arnold, Rosalie J. Harris, Stephen Aitken…·Adrienne B. Nicotra

The paper develops a protocol to assess thermal load sensitivity of photosystem II in plants by integrating temperature intensity and exposure duration, showing dose-dependent effects and light intensity impacts on tolerance thresholds.

Morphological and heat-tolerance traits are associated with progression and impact of, but not vulnerability to, tree decline

Stephen Aitken, Pieter A. Arnold, Matthew Theodore Brookhouse…·Adrienne B. Nicotra

This study examines how morphological and heat-tolerance traits relate to tree decline progression and impact, finding no evidence of trait-based vulnerability but identifying feedback loops exacerbating decline under warming.
