Research showcase

We're pleased to present this showcase of recent research published in New Phytologist and our sister journal, Plants, People, Planet, which will be of interest to delegates at the 47^th New Phytologist Symposium and anyone with an interest in shaping strategies to extend the thermal limits of life and safeguard the future of our ecosystems. We hope you find it useful.
