Climate Change Is, Transforming Forests , Around the World.<br />'The Guardian' reports that forests from the Arctic <br />to the Amazon are being transformed at <br />an alarming rate as a result of the climate crisis.<br />'The Guardian' reports that forests from the Arctic <br />to the Amazon are being transformed at <br />an alarming rate as a result of the climate crisis.<br />Scientists have found trees growing in <br />previously-barren tundra while also dying off <br />due to rising temperatures in the south.<br />Scientists have found trees growing in <br />previously-barren tundra while also dying off <br />due to rising temperatures in the south.<br />According to a series of studies, the composition <br />of forests is rapidly changing to become far <br />less resilient and more prone to diseases.<br />Scientists warn that further heating could cause <br />up to 50% of traditional boreal forests to die off, <br />while leaving many other trees stunted.<br />Boreal species do very poorly even <br />with modest warming. They grow <br />more slowly and have greater mortality, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at <br />the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.<br />Given how fast climate change is, <br />we could get a 50 to 150-year period <br />where spruce and fir over thousands <br />of miles, including from Siberia <br />to Scandinavia, don’t regenerate, .., Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at <br />the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.<br />... so you’ll have this strange <br />new system of invasive shrubs that <br />won’t provide us with the economic <br />and ecological services we are used to, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at <br />the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.<br />Other studies highlight <br />the impact of the climate crisis <br />on the heart of the Amazon.<br />Scientists have warned that the delicate <br />ecosystem of the rainforest is in danger <br />of being transformed into a savannah.<br />Scientists have warned that the delicate <br />ecosystem of the rainforest is in danger <br />of being transformed into a savannah.<br />According to one study, a lack of phosphorus in <br />the Amazon’s soils could have “major implications” <br />for its resilience to rising temperatures
