“…Here, we focus on ‘acclimation capacity’ to reflect physiological adjustments at the scale of leaves, primarily relating to the photosynthesis and respiration. There is evidence that tree species from more thermally variable temperate regions tend to have higher acclimation capacity and respond more positively to warming than tree species from tropical regions, which are less seasonal (Cunningham & Read, 2002, 2003; Doughty & Goulden, 2008; Way & Oren, 2010; Vårhammar et al ., 2015), although this is not always the case (Choury et al ., 2022; Chieppa et al ., 2023). There is also evidence of differential warming impacts across populations of species spanning large latitudinal gradients, often with stronger negative warming impacts on tree growth in warm environments (Rehfeldt et al ., 2002; Reich & Oleksyn, 2008; Molina‐Montenegro & Naya, 2012; Drake et al ., 2015, 2017b).…”
