Evergreens at Risk

Caption

Widespread loss of needleleaf evergreens is predicted for forests in the Southwest region of the United States if climate change scenarios play out as expected, researchers say. Almost three quarters of the forests in the region could be gone by 2050, and all may be gone by 2100.
