Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Climate mitigation potential for targeted forestation after considering climate change, fires, and albedo (2025) · Science Advances · cited 19× · doi

  However, the carbon sequestration potential of these efforts remains uncertain in satellite-based assessments, particularly when accounting for dynamic climate conditions, vegetation-climate feedback, fire-dominated disturbance, and the trade-offs associated with surface albedo changes.

• Climate change imposes phenological trade‐offs on forest net primary productivity (2017) · Journal of Geophysical Research Biogeosciences · cited 64× · doi

  These responses have been observed during anomalously warm years, but the role of future climate change on phenological trade‐offs and how they affect net primary productivity (NPP) at regional scales in temperate forests remain unexplored.

• Climate change impacts on maximum temperature trends in Pinus brutia Ten. breeding zones (2026) · Ormancılık Araştırma Dergisi · doi

  Rising maximum temperature and vapor pressure deficit threaten the adaptive capacity of breeding programs. Climate change poses a significant challenge to forest ecosystems. Integrating future climate projections into long-term forest genetic resource management is necessary.

• Photosynthetic performance and growth vary among populations of Myrsine coriacea under contrasting climatic scenarios (2026) · Trees · doi

  The challenge of predicting forest responses to climate change. The difficulty of understanding population-level responses to environmental variation. The need to consider the coordination between carbon gain through photosynthesis and carbon costs associated with respiration and maintenance.

• Higher growth temperatures compound heatwave recovery of photosynthesis in different populations of Corymbia calophylla (2026) · Functional Plant Biology · doi

  Global temperature rise is leading to increased stress and mortality in forests globally and is driving more frequent and intense heatwaves; however, the interaction between growth temperatures and heatwave events on tree populations remains poorly understood.
