Can Future CO<sub>2</sub> Concentrations Mitigate the Negative Effects of High Temperature and Longer Droughts on Forest Growth?

(1) Background: Climate change may subject forests to climate conditions to which they are not adapted. Elevated temperatures can potentially reduce net photosynthesis by increasing respiration rates and increasingly long droughts dramatically increase morbidity. While CO<sub>2</sub> enr...
