Some plants may not have the traits needed to rapidly respond to human-induced climate change, suggest researchers. The study co-authored by University of Florida scientists shows many angiosperms, or flowering plants, evolved mechanisms to cope with freezing temperatures as they radiated into nearly every climate during pre-historic times. Researchers found the plants likely acquired many of these adaptive traits prior to their movement into colder regions. Study ...Tuesday, 24 December 2013
In Future, Certain Plants Might Find It Difficult To Quickly Adapt To Change In Climate
Some plants may not have the traits needed to rapidly respond to human-induced climate change, suggest researchers. The study co-authored by University of Florida scientists shows many angiosperms, or flowering plants, evolved mechanisms to cope with freezing temperatures as they radiated into nearly every climate during pre-historic times.
