Climate change threatens global plant species as habitats shrink
Researchers found 7% to 16% of more than 67,000 vascular plant species could lose over 90% of their range by 2100.
- Climate change could cause 7% to 16% of plant species to lose more than 90% of their habitat, putting them at high risk of extinction.
- Some plant species may shift habitats due to changing rainfall and temperature patterns, creating novel plant communities.
- Plant diversity loss can have cascading effects, reducing the ability of ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide and support human societies.
