Variation in resistance and resilience among forests may drive different trajectories in the face of global climate change.
For example, canopy trees of African rainforests appear to be more resilient to warming and drought than other tropical forests [@bennettResistanceAfricanTropical2021].
Species with smaller leaves and larger $g_s$ will be less vulnerable to temperature increase than species with larger leaves [@fauset_differences_2018; @songTreeSurfaceTemperature2020] and isoprene emitting species will have a selective advantage in a warming world [@taylorCapacityEmitIsoprene2019].
