DYING ASPEN SUNFLOWER COULD SIGNAL FUTURE CLIMATE WARMING DAMAGE

Summary

The University of Maryland issued the following news release: David Inouye, professor of biology at the University of Maryland, has found that climate change is damaging the Aspen sunflower of the Rocky Mountains. The sunflower could be a "canary in the mine," warning of future ecological consequenc
