The study, led by researchers from the universities of Arizona and South Florida, examined how 993 cactus species found in the American continent were affected by climate change.

As a result of the investigations, scientists determined that temperature increases and severe droughts resulting from climate change increase the risk of extinction of cacti.

Researchers found that more than a quarter of the cactus species examined may lose at least 80 percent of their habitats by 2100, and stated that cactus diversity may decrease significantly, especially in the northeast of Chile, Peru and Brazil.

Researchers noted that more than 30 percent of cactus species on the continent are currently in danger of extinction due to habitat destruction and illegal collection.

The results of the study were published in the journal "Nature".
