Increase in wildfire frequency and intensity will, in turn, increase the vulnerability of biodiversity and species in already vulnerable regions.
Climate Change Impacts Are Pushing Species Beyond Their Tolerance Limits
Climate change threatens species through two main pathways, according to the study. First, risks are imposed by gradual climatic shifts, including warming, changed precipitation patterns, and sea-level rise.
These changes cause habitat loss and reduced suitability, pushing species beyond their physiological tolerance limits.
Second, severe climate disturbance—including wildfires, heatwaves, and storms—are becoming…
