Warmer temperatures lead to faster forest growth, impacting ecosystems worldwide.
Vegetation growth in Northern Hemisphere forests changes with temperature variations. The speed at which plants grow from winter to summer is faster in colder areas. Warmer temperatures make plants grow faster, but the effect is stronger in warm years than in cold years. Deciduous forests are most affected by temperature changes, showing the biggest differences in growth speed. Overall, if seasons get warmer, forests will grow differently.
