A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the effects of climate change on the region’s three main bamboo species.They studied the influence of rising temperatures on the spread and growth of bamboo.Bamboo is sensitive to temperature changes.“Even with a 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit increase in temperature,we found that 80% to 100% of bamboo would be gone by the end of the century,” Liu Jianguo,one of the studys authors said.Shirley Martin,who came from Paris but not involved in the team said that its really a demanding challenge for us to get a desired result.
The Qinling Mountains,located in eastern China,are home to about 270 pandas.That is about 17% of the worlds wild panda population.The panda is one of the world’s most endangered species.
In recent years,China has stepped up efforts to protect pandas.But Liu says the country has yet to consider the long-term efforts of climate change in its conservation planning.Aside from increasing nature reserve areas(保护区)where pandas are protected,Liu wants China to lower its use of fuels that release(释放)greenhouse gases—as should the rest of the world.“ The future of pandas,” he says,“ is in our hands.”
1.From the first paragraph we can know ________.
A.Pandas mainly feed on bamboo
B.The bamboo in Qinling is enough for giant pandas
