UM Study: Forests May Lose Ability to Protect Against Extremes of Climate Change
July 7, 2018/
Forests, one of the most dominate ecosystems on Earth, harbor significant biodiversity. Scientists have become increasingly interested in how this diversity is enhanced by the sheltering microclimates produced by trees.
A recent University of Montana study suggests that a warming climate in the Pacific Northwest would lessen the capacity of many forest microclimates to moderate climate extremes in the future.
The study was published in Ecography: A Journal of Space and Time in Ecology. It is online at http://bit.ly/2KcO1iC.
