Exploring Relationships Between Leaf Traits and Heat Vulnerability

Semester: Fall 2024


Presentation description

This research explores the difference in thermotolerance between gymnosperms and angiosperms across seasons. Specifically, we wanted to explore the relationships between morphological leaf traits of these two clades, and how the affect their thermotolerance. We found that angiosperms were more thermotolerant than gymnosperms when weather was hotter, and that leaf traits were related to thermotolerance, but that these relationships did not persist when weather was cooler.
