Journal Article
Tropical rainforest species have larger increases in temperature optima with warming than warm-temperate rainforest trees
2022
Overview
• While trees can acclimate to warming, there is concern that tropical rainforest species may be less able to acclimate because they have adapted to a relatively stable thermal environment. Here we tested whether the physiological adjustments to warming differed among Australian tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate rainforest trees.
• Photosynthesis and respiration temperature responses were quantified in six Australian rainforest seedlings of tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate climates grown across four growth temperatures in a glasshouse. Temperature-response models were fitted to identify mechanisms underpinning the response to warming.
• Tropical and subtropical species had higher temperature optima for photosynthesis (T
optA) than temperate species. There was acclimation of T
optA to warmer growth temperatures. The rate of acclimation (0.35–0.78°C °C−1) was higher in tropical and subtropical than in warm-temperate trees and attributed to differences in underlying biochemical parameters, particularly increased temperature optima of V
cmax25 and J
max25. The temperature sensitivity of respiration (Q
10) was 24% lower in tropical and subtropical compared with warm-temperate species.
• Overall, tropical and subtropical species had a similar capacity to acclimate to changes in growth temperature as warm-temperate species, despite being grown at higher temperatures. Quantifying the physiological acclimation in rainforests can improve accuracy of future climate predictions and assess their potential vulnerability to warming.
