“We tend to have this perspective that deserts are super resilient, ” she said. Instead, her team discovered pinyon and juniper pines, thought to be extremely heat and drought tolerant, have moved up in elevation over the past few decades — and still aren’t thriving. But they found less hardy shrubs, including ocotillo, also have moved down to take their place.
One wet winter won’t reverse long-term trends, though, Madsen-Hepp cautioned. Her research shows the desert is responding primarily to rising temperatures, which show no sign of slowing down. So the only cure, she said, is to curb emissions to curtail climate change.
