Description
The projected increase in temperature results in greater rates in evaporation and evapotranspiration. This fact could eliminate most bog ecosystems. The results also show a decrease in duration and amount of snow cover and a likely decrease in frequency for summer convective thunderstorms but an increase in intensity.
