Green Leaf Volatile Emissions during High Temperature and Drought Stress in a Central Amazon Rainforest

Green Leaf Volatile Emissions during High Temperature and Drought Stress in a Central Amazon Rainforest

Prolonged drought stress combined with high leaf temperatures can induce programmed leaf senescence involving lipid peroxidation, and the loss of net carbon assimilation during early stages of tree mortality. Periodic droughts are known to induce widespread tree mortality in the Amazon rainforest, b...
