Background
Plants have existed on the planet for as long as 500 million years, and they have evolved countless forms through natural selection leading to phenotypes that enable organisms to successfully compete in their environment and reproduce.
However, the climate is changing rapidly due to human activity and this means organisms may no longer be suited for survival in their habitat. What traits could plants have in the future in a world altered by climate change?
