Photosynthetic Temperature Tolerance Threshold Determines How Isoprene Emission is Affected by Elevated CO2 Concentration at High Temperatures [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsThe suppression of isoprene emissions by high CO2 levels can be mitigated by increasing temperature; however, little is known about why and to what extent species differ in their temperature‐dependent release from high CO2 inhibition.
