Scientists have found trees growing in previously-barren tundra while also dying off due to rising temperatures in the south. According to a series of studies, the composition of forests is rapidly changing to become far less resilient and more prone to diseases. Scientists warn that further heating could cause up to 50% of traditional boreal forests to die off, while leaving many other trees stunted. Boreal species do very poorly even with modest warming. They grow more slowly and have greater mortality, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'. Given how fast climate change is, we could get a 50 to 150-year period where spruce and fir over thousands of miles, including from Siberia to Scandinavia, don’t regenerate, .., Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'. ... so you’ll have this strange new system of invasive shrubs that won’t provide us with the economic and ecological services we are used to, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.

Scientists have warned that the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest is in danger of being transformed into a savannah.
