Brazil\u2019s Atlantic Forest<\/a> is one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. Roughly one in every 50 species of plant and vertebrate land animal lives there<\/a> and nowhere else.<\/p>\n

Stretching for 3,000km along much of Brazil\u2019s coast and inland as far as Argentina and Paraguay, its incredible diversity comes from a mosaic of different ecosystems, including natural grasslands, tropical rainforests, ancient forests adapted to wintry chills, misty mountainous \u201ccloud forests\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But its eye-watering richness of life is in grave danger: the biome has been shattered by several centuries of deforestation and habitat change. Now, the upheavals we\u2019re causing in Earth\u2019s climate systems threaten, within decades, to bring greater disruption to Atlantic Forest ecosystems than any natural changes have for many thousands of years.<\/p>\n

Already, only fragments of the Atlantic Forest remain. Just a quarter of the remaining forest area is more than 250 metres<\/a> from open land \u2013 that\u2019s a three-minute walk, on pavement. Well over 80%<\/a> of its natural vegetation has been destroyed since Europeans arrived in Brazil, and some Atlantic Forest ecosystems have a 50-50 chance of collapsing<\/a> within 50 years.<\/p>\n

Global heating adds another threat. Earth\u2019s climate has always changed<\/a>, but disruptions this century are likely to be<\/a> bigger and happen faster than anything humankind has previously experienced. Higher temperatures and more variable rainfall will be a particular challenge in the south of the Atlantic Forest, where ecosystems comprise a delicate balance of species \u2013 some from the warm tropics, others adapted to freezing winters, but almost all dependent on constant moisture.<\/p>\n

Studying the past to predict the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

How will 21st-century climate change affect the southern Atlantic Forest? I\u2019ve been working with colleagues in the UK, Sweden and Brazil to find out, and to put the next half-century of changes in 21,000 years\u2019 worth of context. Looking into the past may seem like a surprising choice, but it provides the best \u2013 perhaps the only \u2013 concrete data we have on how living things react to major climate changes.<\/p>\n

Over the past 21,000 years, the quirks in Earth\u2019s orbit took our planet from the peak of the last ice age to the warmer Holocene period. If we can find echoes of future conditions in millennia gone by, and unravel how species and ecosystems responded to them, we can improve our predictions of what the future might bring. To do this, our study<\/a> brought together reconstructions and projections of past and future climates, data on 30 key forest and grassland species, and several dozen sites where past climate and vegetation changes have been recorded (like fossil pollen buried in layers of bog mud). What we found is profoundly worrying.<\/p>\n

As you would expect, our data showed that southern Brazil has been gradually warming since the last ice age. Almost the entire region had a similar kind of climate to today\u2019s highland areas 21,000 years ago \u2013 temperate with warm summers \u2013 but that climate zone has receded over time, with the lowlands switching to a hotter climate type. Meanwhile, a tropical rainforest climate zone remained confined to the region\u2019s northern coast, ebbing and flowing over the years.<\/p>\n

However, without checks on carbon emissions, each climate type will change more in the next 50 years than in any of the past 3,000-year periods we looked at. Increasing global temperatures will see the hotter lowland climate type expand further and faster than it has in millennia. Huge expansions of tropical rainforest climate could see it emerge in areas it hasn\u2019t been since before the last ice age. And, driven out of areas they\u2019ve occupied since the start of our study, the cooler highland conditions will shrink to their smallest extent for well over 21,000 years.<\/p>\n

But what will these drastic climate changes mean for the Atlantic Forest itself? One thing is for sure, they won\u2019t be straightforward. Species and ecosystems change in messy ways through time. Ecological surprises<\/a> are common, especially when the climate is most unlike that of the present \u2013 species can unexpectedly thrive in conditions they currently avoid, or they can form groups unlike any<\/a> we know today.<\/p>\n

Our study found plenty of evidence for shifts in the composition of southern Atlantic Forest ecosystems over time, as well as two periods with large expanses of odd and unexpected plant communities. These occur at the times of greatest climatic change. The first happened around 12,000 years ago, as the world left the last glacial period and entered the warmer Holocene. The second could take place within my lifetime.<\/p>\n

By the 2070s, land across the north and east of our study region could lose cold-adapted species it has hosted for 21,000 years or more \u2013 like the ancient, iconic\u00a0Araucaria tree<\/a>, a living fossil \u2013 to be replaced by more warm-tolerant tropical trees in a grouping that\u2019s rare in the present.<\/p>\n

Our models suggest that over 100,000km\u00b2 of the southern Atlantic Forest would experience greater climate-driven change to its species composition in a high-emissions 21st century than it has at any other point in the past 21,000 years. Worryingly, we found hints that these changes might already be underway, with warm-adapted plant communities beginning to push their cold-adapted neighbours uphill.<\/p>\n

Our study provides a useful way of understanding Brazil\u2019s Atlantic Forest \u2013 what\u2019s happened to it before as well as what might happen next. But our results also lay bare the limitations of relying on past scenarios \u2013 even across tens of thousands of years \u2013 to understand the effects of our radically altered man-made future climate. Despite the centuries-long battering from deforestation, it seems that the toughest test for southern Brazil\u2019s Atlantic Forest may still lie ahead.<\/p>\n
