Climate change could leave Yukon plants with nowhere to go: study

WHITEHORSE — As climate change pushes some plants northward, a new study suggests several unique species in Yukon and Alaska could have nowhere to go. 
The scientific paper, published late last month in the journal Diversity and Distributions, used models to predict how 66 plant species with origins in Beringia, an area where glaciers did not form during the last ice age because of dry conditions, could respond to changes in temperature and precipitation from now until 2040.
