Abstract

Understorey plants perform an important role in forest ecosystems but their sensitivity to climate change remains largely unexplored. Now research points to a substantial climate-mediated reduction in the distributional ranges of three dominant bamboo species in the Qinling Mountains over the twenty-first century; plants that comprise almost the entire diet of the panda population in the region.
