💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers in #Brazil reconstructed 3.3 million years of #tropical #vegetation #history and projected changes by 2050. They found that #climatechange could produce #ecosystem shifts within decades that took millions of years to unfold naturally. Species that evolved in stable tropical refuges, including much of the Malay #Archipelago, face the highest risk from this compression of change over time. 👉 https://theconversation.com/impact-of-climate-change-may-be-equivalent-to-3-3-million-years-of-transformations-in-tropical-vegetation-288073 #climate #amazon #biodiversity #deforestation #globalwarming #ecology #science #ufmg #machinelearning #conservation
