Will a future climate change the stress tolerance of plant and ecosystems? A study on multiple stressors: heavy metal pollution, water shortage and eutrophication.

Current adaptation strategies to climate change assume that the tolerance of plant communities to stress will not change in a future climate. We challenge this assumption by testing whether stress responses are different in a warmer, high-CO2 world
