However, a new University of Minnesota study with more than 1,000 young trees has found that plants also adjust — or
acclimate —
to a
warmer climate and may release only one - fifth as much additional carbon dioxide than scientists previously believed, The study, published today in the journal Nature, is based on a five - year project, known as «B4Warmed,» that simulated the effects of climate change on 10 boreal and temperate tree species growing in an open - air setting in 48 plots in two forests in northern Minnesota.

warmer climate.
