On the mechanism of thermal self-regulation of trees: a kind of homeothermic observation
Jean-Baptiste Boulé, Jean de Bremond d'Ars, Vincent Courtillot +6
What is certain is that surface temperatures around the globe vary considerably, regardless of the time scales or underlying causes. Since 1850, we have observed an average increas…
