Researchers have uncovered data suggesting that the risks posed to forests by climate change and human pollution may not be as dire as previously thought. These results offer hope that forests, with their complex plant-soil interactions, may possess greater resilience in the face of environmental stressors than initially anticipated… The research marks the first time the combined impact of rising temperatures and increased nitrogen levels – driven by climate change and fossil fuel emissions – has been thoroughly examined… Traditionally, conservation efforts have focused on mitigating single stressors like rising temperatures or nutrient pollution. However, this study highlights the importance of addressing the complex interactions between multiple factors, such as soil warming and nitrogen levels, to enhance forest resilience.
