A team of researchers affiliated with multiple entities in the U.S. and the U.K. has found that the number of cactus species at risk of extinction is likely to increase this century as a result of climate change. In their paper published in the journal Nature Plants, the group compares the current ecosystems of 408 cactus species with expected changes to those ecosystems under climate change to predict their ability to survive.
