Mapping: climate change on the move
The National Arbor Day Foundation has produced a series of maps that shows how climate zones are on the move due to warming. About half the US has undergone a full “hardiness zone” change, meaning that plants are dealing with significant change in their environment.
Rapid climate change has the potential to outrun the ability of ecosystems to shift and plants to adapt, potentially causing large-scale disruption and even extinction.
