Two-thirds of tropical forests 'under threat in next decade'

Tropical forests can develop resistance to a warmer climate, but 71 percent will come under threat in the next decade if global average temperatures reach two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a new study warns.

Led by scientists at the University of Leeds and published in Science, the study involved 226 researchers from around the world.
