Article Synopsis
- GM crops are widely used in leading agricultural countries, but their overall environmental effects are still not fully understood.
- The decline in direct concerns about GM crops has led to significant indirect changes in farming practices, affecting pesticide usage, land expansion, and crop rotations, all of which impact the environment.
- Recent research shows that the effects of GM crops on biodiversity, deforestation, and human health are complex and vary based on specific traits and the geographic context of their use.
Temperature is a key climate indicator, whose distribution is expected to shift right in a warming world. However, the high-temperature tolerance of trees is less widely understood than their drought tolerance, especially when it comes to sub-lethal impacts of temperature on tree growth. I use a large data set of annual tree ring widths, combined with a flexible degree day model, to estimate the relationship between temperature and tree radial growth.
