“Dangerously Misleading” – Scientists Using Flawed Strategy in Predicting Species Responses to Climate Change

New research reveals that the space-for-time substitution method, used to predict species responses to climate change, inaccurately forecasts the impact of warming on the ponderosa pine. This finding suggests that the method may not be reliable in predicting the future responses of species to changing climates. Credit: SciTechDaily.com

A new study involving University of Arizona researchers suggests change is happening faster than trees can adapt. The finding offers “a word of caution for ecologists” studying climate change.

As the world heats up and the climate shifts, life will…
