Warming-induced glacier retreat could create novel ecosystems

Climate change may halve glacier area outside Antarctic/Greenland by 2100, creating novel ecosystems. Depending on emissions, loss may range from 22-51%. These new ecosystems will be characterised by extreme to mild conditions, favouring primary productivity, non-native species & cold-adapted species. Urgent mitigation & protection needed to secure existence, functioning &…
