Researchers examine which trees are movable when climate change evicts them from their original habitats

Date Time Researchers examine which trees are movable when climate change evicts them from their original habitats University of Copenhagen researchers have studied more than 100 oak trees from a variety of countries and their ability to adapt to the Danish climate. Their results reveal that oak species from North America, Korea and Japan are better suited for survival in Denmark than oaks from Southern Europe. The knowledge is needed to predict which trees will be able to survive in Denmark, and the rest of the world, as anthropogenic climate change intensifies. Climate change will impact the future living conditions of trees. Some will adapt, others won’t.

An epic walk: 15 million years needed for dinosaurs to get from South America to Greenland

 E-Mail For the first time, two researchers one from the University of Copenhagen and the other from Columbia University have accurately dated the arrival of the first herbivorous dinosaurs in East Greenland. Their results demonstrate that it took the dinosaurs 15 million years to migrate from the southern hemisphere, as a consequence of being slowed down by extreme climatic conditions. Their long walk was only possible because as CO2 levels dropped suddenly, the Earth s climate became less extreme. A snail could have crawled its way faster. 10,000 km over 15 million years that s how long it took the first herbivorous dinosaurs to make their way from Brazil and Argentina all the way to East Greenland. This, according to a new study by Professor Lars Clemmensen of the University of Copenhagen s Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management and researcher Dennis Kent of New York s Columbia University.
