Earth's Plant Life Could Survive for Another 1.87 Billion Years, Study Finds

plant life biosphere photosynthesis

Quick Look

New research suggests Earth's vegetative biosphere could support plant life for approximately 1.8 to 1.87 billion years, significantly longer than previous estimates.
The extended timeline is due to a more sophisticated understanding of how a brightening sun and decreasing carbon dioxide will impact photosynthesis.
