ScienceDaily: Scientists have provided the first robust assessment of climate change impacts on extinction risk in the tropical Andes, an area of global importance for biodiversity. Bournemouth University experts have analysed the potential impact of changing climate conditions on the tree species that occur in the tropical Andes, along with other factors. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated that 20-30% of the world's species are likely to be at increased risk of extinction as...
