High temperature limits of leaf function

在干旱和半干旱的澳大利亚中部，相思(Acacia spp.占主导地位的是高层建筑，但这一点转移到了桉树和Corymbia spp.在更多的中西部沿海地区。澳大利亚中部地区极端炎热、干燥和阳光充足，正是这种压力的组合可能将桉树排除在外。从许多地貌中。关于相思树和桉树的高温耐性的研究很少，尽管这种胁迫与其他胁迫相结合在限制物种？分配。我们的合作研究项目将检验相思和桉树对高温、干旱和强光的耐受性。

In arid and semi-arid central Australia, Acacia spp. dominate the over-storey, but this shifts to Eucalyptus and Corymbia spp. in more mesic coastal regions. Areas of central Australia are extremely hot, dry and sunny, and it is this combination of stresses that likely excludes Eucalyptus spp. from many landforms. There has been little research on high temperature tolerance of Acacia and Eucalyptus, despite the putative importance of this stress, in combination with other stresses, in limiting species? distributions. Our program of collaborative research will examine the tolerance of Acacia and Eucalyptus to a combination of high temperatures, drought and high light.
