Tropical forests quite resilient to warming

In an ambitious, long-term study of more than half a million trees, a virtual army of scientists has found that tropical forests are more resilient to warming temperatures than most climate models predict – but only up to a point.
Once temperatures pass a 32-degree-Celsius threshold, the forests – a major carbon reservoir – become four times more sensitive to the heat, causing them to release carbon dioxide more rapidly.
