Plants take a hike as temperatures rise

Plants are flowering at higher elevations in Arizona's Santa Catalina 
Mountains as summer temperatures rise, according to new research from The 
University of Arizona in Tucson.

The flowering ranges of 93 plant species moved uphill during 1994 to 2003, 
compared to where the same species flowered the previous ten years. During 
the 20-year study period, summer temperatures in the region increased 
about 1.8 degree Fahrenheit (1 degree C.).
