Plants boost carbon uptake through water efficiency, not heat adaptation, global analysis reveals
A new study reveals that land ecosystems are increasing carbon uptake primarily through improved water efficiency and canopy growth rather than heat adaptation. This finding challenges previous assumptions about how plants respond to global warming and suggests climate models need to be updated.
Why it matters
Accurate climate modeling is essential for predicting future carbon sequestration and managing global climate change strategies.
