Wyoming fossils reveal ancient forests collapsed during extreme global warming and took over 100,000 years to recover: A stark warning for today’s climate
- Fossils from Wyoming are revealing how forests responded when Earth experienced one of its most intense episodes of global warming around 56 million years ago.
- The researchers estimate that forest canopy cover declined by about 60% and remained substantially reduced for more than 100,000 years before recovering.
