Tropical rainforest species have larger increases in temperature optima with warming than warm-temperate rainforest trees. [PDF]
Summary While trees can acclimate to warming, there is concern that tropical rainforest species may be less able to acclimate because they have adapted to a relatively stable thermal environment.
