Extended Data Fig. 5: Leaf thermocouple data.
From: Tropical forests are approaching critical temperature thresholds
Canopy top tropical leaf thermocouple measurements for (top) Brazil km 67, (middle) Panama and (bottom) the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Insets show the long tail distribution of temperatures and text records the highest leaf temperature. The resampled assumes a similar number of samples (~N = 400) at 38 °C for both sites and fits a curve to extrapolate the long tail. The Atlantic forest is a cooler forest (at ~1000 m) and the median temperature of the Amazon is ~4 °C higher than the Atlantic forest.
