How Has Climate Change Affected Yellowstone Amphibians?
As habitats continue to heat up and dry out under the influence of climate change, certain amphibians that move across Yellowstone will likely experience increasing loss of habitable zones… Read
Climate Change Impacts On Birds and Mammals
The longer the duration of the original studies, the more likely authors were to infer that the observed changes in taxonomic groups were due to climate change rather than climate variability… Read
What Are the Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Alpine Systems?
Though all biomes across the globe are predicted to be impacted by climate change, freshwater systems in alpine and pre-alpine regions may be disproportionately at risk due to agriculture and hydropower plants… Read
