"We are predicting total top leaf death."says Christopher Doughty at Northern Arizona University."If it was to happen,this would be a maior tipping point for the climate.Although we're not likely to get to that soon,the possibility remains.""The threshold seems high,"says team member Martin Slot at the Tropical Research Institute."But leaf temperature can be a lot higher tban air temperature." The team analyzed plant temperature measurements from the instrument on the International Space Station from 2018 to 2020,revealing that about Q.01 percent of leaves in the tops of rain forests globally are already reaching the thresnold.Io confirm this,the team did ground-based studies around the world,placing temperature sensors on leaves in the upper top of rain forests. Studies showed that the proportion of leaves affected will go up as local temperatures increase.rising more rapidly after reaching a tipping point between 2 and 8℃of local warming. There are several reasons why the rise might accelerate,says Doughty.The opening and closing of leaf stoma (matters.The small holes of leaves close during high heat and drought to prevent water loss.Without the cooling ettect through leaf holes, leaves warm rapidly.In addition,once the most heat-exposed leaves die,others that are under them are exposed and die as well.What's more,continuing deforestation will make it more likely that local temperatures could increase to levels where lots of leaves start going beyond the limit.“Where you have fragmentation(碎片化)of forests,the existing forests get quite a bit warmer,says Doughty. It is possible that the rising number of trees dying in the Amazon partly result from this temperature threshold,he says.Studies also suggest that the Amazon has started releasing more carbon than it takes in,leading to further warming. 32.What does“it”in paragraph2 refer to? A.Leaf temperature reaches 47C. B.All the leaves on tree tops will die. C.The leaves cannot photosynthesize. D.The rain forest is being widely cut down. 33.How did the team confirm the temperature-threshold-reaching?
