Very rapid thermophilization & xerophilisation of grassland plant communities in the California Floristic Province attributed to climate change ⬇️ An important study relying on both field surveys & long-term experiments ⬇️ Congrats to Kai Zhu & team shorturl.at/3FsVm

It is a long time that I haven't seen such convincing findings about climate change impacts on biodiversity
