Seeing Forest Biodiversity for the Trees

Science Now: Climate change may not be as serious a threat to tropical forest biodiversity as previously thought, according to a new study. The question of whether rising carbon dioxide levels act as a forest fertilizer remains unresolved, however. Global climate change is likely to be bad news for some humans, but the effect on tropical forests is less clear. Previous work has suggested that higher carbon dioxide levels and warmer temperatures benefit fast-growing trees. As a result, these …
