Description
Norbert Kunert and co-authors report, in a 2026 paper, that temperate tree species show cross tolerance to heat, drought, and late spring frost. Leaf traits that help a tree bear one stress track with traits for the others. The evidence pairs three leaf measures: the water point where leaves lose firm pressure, the heat level a leaf can take, and the frost temperature that kills leaf tissue in spring. Plotted in pairs, these measures line up across species, which points to shared defenses.
