Concepts

Variation in the strength or direction of ecological effects depending on environmental conditions or organism characteristics

Physiological shifts that allow plants to adjust their rates of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to compensate for changes in temperature

Process-based framework for understanding drivers of thermal offsets and thermal coupling strengths in leaves based on energy budget parameters

Seeds present in the soil that represent the potential for future plant community recruitment and composition

When plants are found adjacent to one another with less than two finger-widths between them or when one plant surrounds another

When clustered plants experience facilitative interactions that cause leaves to be cooler relative to surrounding soils
