Study: Protecting Florida's Wildlife Corridor Crucial for Climate Resilience

Florida is projected to lose 3.5 million acres of land to development by 2070. A new study highlights how Florida can buffer itself against both climate change and population pressures by conserving the remaining 8 million acres of "opportunity areas" within the Florida Wildlife Corridor (FLWC), the only designated statewide corridor in the U.S.

Quantifying Climate Change Effects on Global Natural Vegetation Dynamics

Recent studies have shown that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and consequential warming may compromise the community structure and functioning of the cold tundra ecosystems. However, in addition to uptake carbon, natural vegetation, particularly forests, can physically cool neighboring areas by releasing certain cooling molecules.
