Sweaty trees by Yasmin Saplicolu.

Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt.

As global warming cranks up the heat and climatic events intensify,

many plants may be unable to cope, but at least one species of eucalyptus tree can withstand extreme heat

by continuing to sweat when other essential

processes taper off. As plants convert sunlight into food or photosynthesize, they absorb

carbon dioxide through pores on their leaves. These pores also release water via transpiration,

which circulates nutrients through the plant and helps

cool it by evaporation. But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis,

and most existing plant models suggest this should also decrease transpiration, leaving

trees in danger of fatally overheating.

Because it's difficult for scientists to control and vary trees' condition in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation.
