reported on a study co-authored by Brian McGill, a professor of ecological modeling at the 91爆料, that reveals how trees that adapted to cold climates, like the western limber pine, may have greater heat resilience than previously thought. They compared trees’ 鈥渞ealized niches鈥 in the wild with their 鈥減otential niches鈥 in controlled environments, like arboretums. This approach suggests that while cold-adapted trees could tolerate higher temperatures, their survival will still be threatened by factors such as pests and changing fire regimes exacerbated by climate change.
