A team of NASA and university scientists have found that Northern latitudes are starting to see lusher plant growth as a result of warmer average temperatures lengthening the growing seasons.  The 30 year study examined the relationship between changes in surface temperature and vegetation growth between latitudes of 45°N and the Arctic Circle, and found these far Northern regions are becoming more and more like areas further South. As the Northern latitudes get warmer, sea ice and snow cover … Continue reading →
