Up to one in six plant species could be wiped out within 75 years, warns a new study. Researchers found that 7% to 16% of global plant species studied are expected to lose more than 90% of their range by 2100 under current climate change projections. The ecological modeling study shows that many plants face a “high risk” of extinction by the end of the century — including eucalyptus — under current climate change projections. High extinction rates are projected in southern Europe, the western United States and southern Australia- posing risks to both ancient and economically vital plant species. But some areas will actually see an increase in species richness over the next few decades, according to the study. A new study warns that one in six plant species on Earth could go extinct within 75 years. vahit – stock.adobe.com The American research team say habitat loss due to climate change is expected to drive extinctions, rather than a plant’s ability to shift locations or “keep pace” with global warming.…
