Plants Previously Thought to Be 'Stable' Found to Be Responding to Climate 
Change

ScienceDaily (June 1, 2012) -- Many wild plant species thought to be 
"stable" in the face of climate change are actually responding to global 
warming, say researchers at UC Santa Barbara's National Center for 
Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). Their findings, in a study 
titled, "Divergent responses to spring and winter warming drive community 
level flowering trends," are published in the Proceedings of the National 
Academy of Sciences.
