Back to the future: Scientists look into Earth's "Deep Time" to predict future effects of climate change
Description: Climate change alters the way in which species interact with one another--a reality that applies not just to today or to the future, but also to the past, according to a new paper. Researchers found that, at all time scales, climate change can alter biotic interactions in very complex ways. The paper highlights the value of using information about past episodes of rapid change from Earth's history to help predict future changes to our planet's ecosystems.
