The study, which will be published March 16 in the online journal Environmental Research Letters, demonstrates that this decline is due to human-caused increases in global temperatures. Most people tend to think of climate change as something that will impact the future, said Christopher Field, co-author on the study and director of Carnegie’s Department of Global Ecology in Stanford, Calif.
