abstract = {The Atlantic Forest is critically threatened by habitat
fragmentation, requiring various restoration efforts to
restore essential ecosystem functions. However, with the
projected rise in extreme weather events such as heatwaves
and droughts, the success of ecological restoration will
depend on species’ ability to perform at higher
temperatures. To better understand the thermal response of
tree species in restored Atlantic Forest areas, we measured
carbon assimilation under saturating light (Asat), the
maximum rate of RuBP carboxylation (VCmax), the rate of
electron transport (Jmax), and stomatal conductance (gs) in
six species from contrasting successional groups in a
restored area, across a range of leaf temperatures to
determine their thermal optima for each parameter (TOptA,
TOptV, TOptJ, and TOpgs, respectively). We tested the
difference in thermal optima between early- and
late-successional species and examined stomatal and
biochemical control over TOptA. As a result, no significant
differences were found in the photosynthetic thermal optimum
between successional groups. Additionally, TOptgs was most
strongly correlated with TOptA. However, TOptA in early
successional species exhibited a stronger relationship with
TOptJ, which contradicts findings in the literature for
tropical biomes. These contrasting results raise important
questions about the ecological and physiological mechanisms
that may differ between reforested and natural ecosystems.
Consequently, further research is needed to better
understand species acclimation and adaptation in restored
areas.},
