Divergent structure–function coordination shapes leaf thermal tolerance in Mediterranean tree species

Increasing temperatures impair photosynthetic apparatus by damaging photosystem II (PSII) efficiency. We evaluated the relevance of two thermal indices (Tcrit and T50) as indicators of the PSII resistance to thermal stress of Quercus ilex, Acer campestre and Fraxinus ornus in the...
