#ClimateChange is shifting the distribution of wild species, likely leading to changes in the set of species found in #ecosystems.
Researchers examine shifts in the distribution of #birds 🐦 to learn how ecosystems and their function may change.
RT @LIFEprogramme: 🌱 Healthy soils are vital for life on Earth.
They're vital to halt #EUBiodiversity 🐝 loss & mitigate the effects of #climatechange. 🌎
