Predicted disappearance of Cephalantheropsis obcordata in Luofu mountain due to changes in rainfall patterns [1]

In the past century, the global average temperature has increased by approximately 0.74°C and extreme weather events have become prevalent. Recent studies have shown that species have shifted from high-elevation areas to low ones because the rise in temperature has increased rainfall. These outcomes challenge the existing hypothesis about the responses of species to climate change.
