An analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with #ClimateChange. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/3QLYhyc
In Mesoamerican cloud forests, such as this one in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, climate change and deforestation are leading to plant species moving upslope. However, an analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with climate change.

Scientists say amid climate change and biodiversity loss, the world’s herbaria could hold the keys to overcoming the crises in their folders of dried plant specimens. But their future is in question amid cuts to research and education funding:
