  • Reconstruction of climate data revealed significantly high rainfall during that time.
  • The elevated rainfall likely increased plant water use efficiency, aiding resilience under warm conditions and high CO2 levels.
  • Despite Earth being 13 °C warmer and CO2 exceeding 1000 ppmv, equatorial forests successfully survived.
  • The research unveils the survival mechanism of equatorial forests during warmer periods.
  • The study contributes to developing a calibration file for low-latitude regions, ....
