Short-term heat stress in situ reduces net photosynthesis and alters metabolite composition in the arctic poppy Papaver dahlianum
Climate change is increasing the mean summer temperature in the Arctic and with that the probability of extreme climatic events including heat waves. An increase in heat waves may cause increased stress in a number of arctic plants, but to what extent, is a current research question. There was no ev...

Climate change is increasing the mean summer temperature in the Arctic and with that the probability of extreme climatic events including heat waves. An increase in heat waves may cause increased stress in a number of arctic plants, but to what extent, is a current research question. There was no evidence of an increase in the frequency, length or average daily maximum temperature of heat waves at Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Irrespective of future changes in temperature, present conditions could result in leaf temperatures upwards of 30 °C. I investigated the photosynthetic and metabolomic responses of Papaver dahlianum Nordh. to a short-term heating (17, 24 and 31 °C) event (45 min) in a field study on Svalbard.
