Climate change is having impacts on rangelands worldwide. The science shows that increasing greenhouse gases are trapping more heat in the lower atmosphere and warming the planet. Models project continued warming in the future under different climate scenarios. Rangeland plant responses to higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels vary depending on location, plant community, and soil factors. Some areas may see increased forage production while others face water constraints. Species shifts are also occurring, such as woody plant encroachment in some regions. Invasive species and weeds may thrive under altered conditions. Forage quality is also vulnerable to changes. Overall, rangelands are becoming more vulnerable to impacts, with southern latitudes facing greater risks and more weather variability
