1.The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures,trees being cut down,development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests,new research published in Science finds.
Older,bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate,making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places,the study's authors say,but the consequences will be global.
Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO2.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe,they found that tree mortality(死亡率) has doubled in the past 40 years.
"Warming temperatures,wildfires,logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline," says Nate McDowell,the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory(發(fā)展軌跡) of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures,arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally,he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together,they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes,applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
"It's not a shock,but it's very sad," says Kristina,an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
