Different climate models project how the range of forest
species will change as global warming continues into
the future. Researchers anticipate that many species
of deciduous trees such as beech trees will move northward
and to higher elevations where conditions are cooler.
In the process, coniferous tree species such as pine
may be displaced. Changes in the distribution of tree
species will, in turn, have an impact on biological
diversity.
