Species on Earth Thrive at 20 Degrees Celsius: New Study Suggests Land Species Face Climate Struggle
Scientists in London, United Kingdom have conducted a study that suggests all species on Earth appear to thrive at an “optimal” 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). This study confirms that the temperature ranges of animals, plants, and microbes living both in air and water overlap at 20C, indicating its significance for biodiversity. The research indicates that temperatures above 20C become increasingly suboptimal for all domains of life, including animals, plants, and prokaryotes. This pivotal …
