- Canada sans the maple tree. This could become a reality. Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel claim many tree species that depend on the wind to disperse their seeds
- like pines and maples
- might become extinct due to changes in climate like higher concentrations of CO2 in the air and reduction of surface wind speed. Previous scientific research suggests that further increase in CO2 concentrations will cause trees to produce more seeds and
- together with higher seed production and earlier maturation will result in faster spread of trees. The study focuses on the spread of North American wind-dispersed trees
