In thermotolerance tests of tropical tree leaves, the chlorophyll fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm measured soon after heat exposure is not a reliable predictor of tissue necrosis. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Heat tolerance assays based solely on the decline of photosystem II quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) soon after heat exposure may underestimate the temperature above which irreversible leaf damage occurs and may be species specific. Abstract Tropical rainforests are hot and may be particularly sensitive to ongoing anthropogenic global warming.
