Study shows hot leaves can't catch carbon from the air. It's bad news for rainforests—and Earth

  • Rising temperatures will severely affect the ability of tropical forests to photosynthesize, reducing their role in mitigating global warming and exacerbating climate change.
  • Photosynthetic rates dropped by an average of 35% in warmed leaves compared to non-warmed controls, indicating a significant impact on all species.
  • The findings suggest a weakened pulse of water exchange in tropical systems, with significant implications for the global water cycle.
  • Protecting rainforest biodiversity is crucial as not all species are equally vulnerable, offering some hope for resilience in a warming world.
