Some of the plants that make familiar landscapes recognizable may not survive by century's end as climate change becomes an increasingly important driver of species loss, according to scientists, reshaping and often shrinking suitable habitats that the plants need to survive.
Researchers modelled future ranges for numerous species of vascular plants, a category that accounts for almost all the world's plants - those with water - and nutrient-carrying tissues. They looked at more than 67,000 species, meaning about 18% of the world's known vascular plants.
