An ancient fossilized forest in Montana is reemerging 600 feet higher than the present-day tree line after spending the last 5,500 years encased in alpine tundra. But as temperatures continue to warm, ...

In just a few decades shrubs in the Arctic tundra have turned into trees as a result of the warming Arctic climate, creating patches of forest which, if replicated across the tundra, would ...
