Dr Christa Mulder – Understanding How Flowering Plants Respond to Climate Change

May 18, 2022 | earth and environment, research animated

About this episode

A welcome sign of a change in seasons, the year’s first flowers usher in the start of spring. Yet, as the climate warms, some flowers are blooming earlier. Since plants respond to environmental cues, such as temperature, shifts in their annual development has long been considered an effect of climate change. However, significant warming does not always lead to earlier flowering.
