The tropics are the hottest biome with closed-canopy forests, and these lush, biodiverse forests help regulate the global climate by fixing large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere in photosynthesis and storing carbon in trees and soils. But temperatures are rising, with unknown consequences for the forests as we know them. I will discuss how warming affects carbon fluxes in tropical forests, at timescales ranging from minutes to centuries, using results from warming experiments and field observations in Panama.
