"If slow movement were the main problem, then allowing unlimited dispersal should dramatically reduce extinction risk. But that is not what we found."
— Dr Junna Wang , Academic
"If dispersal limitation were the main driver, then strategies like assisted migration - physically helping species move to new areas - could solve much of the problem."
— Prof Xiaoli Dong , Academic

Climate change is reshaping and shrinking suitable habitats for many plant species, potentially leading to their extinction by the end of the century.
Climate change is reshaping and shrinking suitable habitats for many plant species, potentially leading to their extinction by the end of the century.
A study modeling 18% of vascular plants finds that 7–16% may lose over 90% of their habitat by 2100, primarily due to disappearing climate-suitable areas rather than dispersal limits.
Climate change is reshaping and shrinking suitable habitats for many plant species, potentially leading to their extinction by the end of the century.
Researchers predict that between 7% and 16% of vascular plants could lose over 90% of their range by 2100, posing a high risk of extinction.
