Widespread decline in winds delayed autumn foliar senescence over high latitudes

Climate change-induced decline in winds could delay leaf-fall at high latitudes

Wind dynamics need to be factored into studies that measure the impact of climate change on the rhythms of nature. A study published in PNAS and co-authored by CREAF-based CSIC researcher Josep Peñuelas concludes that a decline in winds is currently benefiting plant productivity.
