Climate Change and Invasive Species

The video discusses the impact of climate change on ecosystems, highlighting how rising global temperatures and drought conditions weaken ecosystems, making them vulnerable to invasive species. It provides examples of pine beetle infestations in the Western US and emerald ash borer threats in hardwood forests. Additionally, it covers the migration of native species in the Sonoran Desert due to climate change, leading to the invasion of buffelgrass, which alters the ecosystem.

In what ways are native species in the Sonoran Desert being affected by climate change?
