20. Unraveling the Last Glacial Maximum
Ancient plant DNA has provided crucial details about the Last Glacial Maximum, the coldest phase of the last Ice Age. By identifying which species persisted and which vanished, scientists can trace how frigid conditions drastically reshaped global biomes. This genetic evidence uncovers patterns of survival and adaptation among plants, offering a clearer picture of ecosystem changes during extreme climates. For more, visit Nature Ecology & Evolution.
