As a result of the climate crisis, future forests may become unrecognizable. Trees that currently make up European woods may no longer be seen - or they may have moved several hundred meters uphill.
Italian forests grow vulnerable as the climate crisis changes conditions in the mountains, possibly leading to unrecognisable transformations
Italy's iconic mountain forests could soon undergo a historic transformation due to the ongoing climate crisis.
With the changes in conditions caused by the climate crisis, the forests of the Italian Alps and Apennines are set to alter. Many species, including keystone species, will have smaller ranges to grow in. Some others may expand their ranges, possibly helping to maintain forests in the years to come. Scientists now warn that conserving our forests depends on detailed biodiversity modelling.
