Arctic plant life shifts as warming drives major changes in biodiversity

Rapid climate change is upending plant life in the Arctic. A new study in Nature shows how one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth is changing as warming is up to four times faster in the Arctic than on Earth on average. Scientists around the world have been studying the biological changes in more than 2,000 experimental plots in the northern polar region for 40 years.
