Climate warming is causing compositional changes in Andean tropical montane forests (TMFs). These shifts are hypothesised to result from differential responses to warming of cold‐ and warm‐affiliated species, with the former experiencing mortality and the latter migrating upslope. The thermal acclimation potential of Andean TMFs remains unknown.Along a 2000 m Andean altitudinal gradient, we planted individuals of cold‐ and warm‐affiliated species (under common soil and irrigation), exposing them to the hot and cold extremes of their thermal niches, respectively. We measured the response of net photosynthesis (Anet), photosynthetic capacity and leaf dark respiration (Rdark) to warming/cooling, 5 months after planting.In all species,Anetand photosynthetic capacity at 25°C were highest when growing at growth temperatures (Tg) closest to their thermal means, declining with warming and cooling in cold‐affiliated and warm‐affiliated species, respectively. When expressed atTg, photosynthetic capacity andRdarkremained unchanged in cold‐affiliated species, but the latter decreased in warm‐affiliated counterparts.Rdarkat 25°C increased with temperature in all species, but remained unchanged when expressed atTg.Both species groups acclimated to temperature, but only warm‐affiliated species decreasedRdarkto photosynthetic capacity ratio atTgas temperature increased. This could confer them a competitive advantage under future warming.
