Additive Effects Dominate Legume Responses to Combined Heat and Drought Stress: A Quantitative Review

Concurrent exposure to heat and drought stress compromises legume productivity, yet their combined effects are rarely quantified systematically. We compiled a database of 18 studies covering seven legume species. From these, we extracted 929 physiological, biochemical, and yield-related traits and calculated actual-to-additive ratios to classify heat-drought interactions as antagonistic (ratio…
