NOAA experts provide data, tools and information to help people understand, prepare for and adapt to our changing climate.

Boston Herald: Scientists say don’t forget about plants. Climate change is endangering tens of thousands of species

Between warmer temperatures and shifts in rain and snow patterns, between 7% and 16% of the world’s plant species are likely to lose at least 90% of their habitat and go essentially extinct in about ...

Phys.org: One-of-a-kind experiment tracks plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

One-of-a-kind experiment tracks plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide

The shifts in the long-term average of weather variables and patterns are defined as climate change. Climate variability and change can impact virtually every aspect of society, including food production, health, housing, energy, water resources, safety, tourism, finance, and transportation.

As climate pressures intensify, crops are growing faster but losing vital nutrients. Understanding these biochemical shifts is essential for building resilient, nutrient-dense food systems in a ...
