Question
Chapter 39.6, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The projections about the distributions of trees in Europe over the next 60 years.
Introduction: Impacts of climate change are countered by forests. In addition to absorbing greenhouse gases and controlling water flows, they also safeguard coastal towns from extreme weather and rising sea levels. Additionally, they offer pathways to robust habitats for migratory plant and animal species.
