Plant canopy temperature—the actual heat experienced on leaf surfaces—is increasing at a significantly faster rate than ambient air temperature. Current climate models largely rely on air temperature, leading to a systematic underestimation of the thermal stress vegetation will face as global temperatures rise. #Climatology #PlantPhysiology #Ecology #EnvironmentalScience #Hydrology #ClimateChange #sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2026/07/as07212601.html
