beyond the tree line,they eventually can sprout (发芽) new trees.This explains how a forest can move.Of course,the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough.But
in recent years,the whole planet has been warming.
New trees will provide shelters for some snow.Keeping
the sun’s rays from making the white surface disappear.Instead,the trees absorb the sun’s heat.This warms the surrounding air.The extra warmth encourages even more trees
to produce seeds.That further boosts a forest’s ability to expand.In
addition,more
trees
will
trap
more
snow,preventing much of it from being blown away.Snow can trap heat in the soil below,which encourages trees to grow.The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the
tree line.People worry about impacts on the animals that
depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
