Impact of climate change on insects still under-studied
Climate change and intense agricultural land use have already resulted in a 49 percent decline in the number of insects in the most damaged places of the world, according to a new study by UCL researchers
A new study performed by the researchers of the University College London (UCL) finds that intensive agricultural land use and climate change have earlier been accountable for a 49% decrease in the number of insects in the majorly impacted parts of the world.
A new study by researchers at University College London (UCL) looked at 750,000 samples of 18,000 distinct insect species and found that the combination of habitat loss caused by big agriculture and climate change are having a drastic impact on global insect populations.
