Even trees can get serious sunburn. A new study by a WSL-EPFL team shows how #heat and #drought affect #trees and how they sustain damage when the two are combined. This helps us understand how they will react to a changing climate: www.wsl.ch/en/news/when...

When trees get ‘sunburn’

Young trees are able to withstand high temperatures, but only if there is enough water available in the ground.
