The 200-Year Tree Delay That Could Cost Us the Forests We Love
Forests are falling dangerously behind in the race against climate change. A new study reveals that tree populations typically need 100 to 200 years to respond to warming—far too slow for today’s rapid shifts. Ancient pollen records and spectral analysis show that while the climate races ahead, forests are stuck on a much longer clock. [...]
