Abstract

Nara Vogado investigated effects of climate change, specifically drought and elevated CO2, on the phenology and eco-physiology of tree species from the Wet Tropics. She found that phenological responses are influenced by both climate and physiological processes, and vary with species and their capacity to adapt.
