Differences in the rates of change in vegetation respiration and gross primary productivity (GPP) with increasing temperature (TMP) drive the quadratic response of Carbon use efficiency (CUE) to TMP, whereas the quadratic response of optimal temperature (TMPopt) to PRE serves as a potential mechanism for the nonlinear CUE–TMP response

#Trees absorb the #greenhousegas #CO2 and release oxygen, thus contributing to a better #environment. Yet, isolated street trees are more susceptible to disease than those in #forests, which are embedded in complex #forestecosystems with a #treespecies #diversity.
