Climate Sensitivity of Tropical Trees Along an Elevation Gradient in Rwanda http://www.focali.se/en/articles/artikelarkiv/climate-sensitivity-of-tropical-trees-along-an-elevation-gradient-in-rwanda New study from Rwandan researchers together with Focaliresearchers Johan Uddling and Göran Wallin on climate sensitivity of tropical trees along an elevation gradient in Rwanda. The study finds that gas exchange strongly decrease at lower sites in the dry season, which indicates that primary production as well as transpiration would decline in a climate with more pronounced dry periods.
