💁🏻♀️ TIL: Researchers in #Brazil reconstructed 3.3 million years of #tropical #vegetation #history and projected changes by 2050.
They found that #climatechange could produce #ecosystem shifts within decades that took millions of years to unfold naturally. Species that evolved in stable tropical refuges, including much of the Malay #Archipelago, face the highest risk from this compression of change over time.

Impact of climate change may be equivalent to 3.3 million years of transformations in tropical vegetation
Changes that took millions of years can now happen in a matter of decades, and this accelerated rythm can be destructive, with dangerous consequences for the planetThe Conversation
