Plants Previously Thought to Be ‘Stable’ Found to Be Responding to Climate Change

ScienceDaily — Many wild plant species thought to be “stable” in the face of climate change are actually responding to global warming, say researchers at UC Santa Barbara’s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). Their findings, in a study titled, “Divergent responses to spring and winter warming drive community level flowering trends,” are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. According to the study, a number of wild plant species previously thought to be unresponsive to the trend of warmer and earlier springs, because they did not bloom earlier, are actually responding to climate temperature change in a manner that is not as easily seen as in plants that exhibit earlier flowering in response to an advanced spring. read article
