If the heating of the planet continues, outside of the insane weather conditions of increased hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires (Which the stuff we're already seeing an increase in is just a small fraction of what's going to happen if global leaders don't do something)
Photosynthesis might just break down entirely as if it's get to hot, plant matter/leaves can hit a critical threshold where they biologically can no longer do most of their processes.
Currently already a very small amount of leaves in these forests are already experiencing this. "some 0.01%"
Considering that we're already locked in to a lot more warming even if we do act (all depends on when things change), this could still rise to a worrying degree.
