Ambient Boiler Threshold
The physiological point of absolute heat collapse for equatorial understory species. Because these plants evolved under a deep, permanent rainforest canopy where the temperature never fluctuates, their cell lipid components literally liquefy and rupture when subjected to blazing 100°F+ (37.7°C) heatwaves.

Person B: "Great, but what's your plan for July? The second it hits the Ambient Boiler Threshold, those leaves are going to turn to soup."
