Plants will run out of time to grow under ongoing climate change
... The new study published in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS Biology shows that ongoing climate change will lead to overall declines in plant growing days by 2100 due to a mixture of warming, drought, and limited solar radiation. Using satellite-derived data, the study identified the ranges of temperat ...
