Study finds increased greenhouse gases may reduce equatorial rainfall, potentially replacing India's evergreen forests with deciduous ones.
A new study suggests that increased greenhouse gases could reduce rainfall in the equatorial region, potentially replacing India's biodiversity-rich evergreen forests in the Western Ghats, northeast India, and the Andamans with deciduous forests. Researchers from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences used data from the Eocene Thermal Maximum 2, a period of global warming around 54 million years ago, to assess the impact of climate change on vegetation.
