Life at chilly temperatures - A collection of microorganisms from extreme habitats
The cold habitats of the Swiss Alps and the Arctic are undergoing change and are at risk of disappearing completely or partially in the future. Along with them, a poorly known diversity o...
Light exposure reshapes photosynthetic thermal tolerance curves, with idiosyncratic responses across 36 species.
Photosynthetic thermal tolerance estimates for 36 tropical species following the static water bath method and measuring maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm). Thermal tolerance assays were perfor...
Light-quality responses of photosynthetic, stomatal, and mesophyll traits of Alnus incana and Quercus ilex
Gas exchange, online isotope discrimination, and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were conducted on fully expanded leaves of grey alder (*Alnus incana*) and holm oak (*Quercus ilex*)...
