Climate projections including severe drought show greater risks for cactus species
Nature reported that projections incorporating severe drought found many assessed cactus species could lose large areas of suitable climate by 2100.
Nature reported that climate projections accounting for severe drought indicate greater risks to cactus species than models based only on long-term climate averages.
The analysis assessed 993 cactus species and projected that more than one-quarter could lose at least 80% of their suitable climatic area by 2100.
