Climate change is delaying Minnesota's peak fall colors

Original: Climate change is delaying Minnesota’s peak fall colors

Minnesota's iconic autumn foliage is peaking later than it used to, and climate change is the reason. Warmer fall temperatures are slowing the process that turns leaves brilliant reds and oranges, pushing peak color weeks past traditional dates. The shift concerns tourism operators who rely on fall color season, as well as ecologists tracking how changing rhythms affect trees and wildlife across the state's forests.

Why now: Fall color season is underway and visitors are noticing the timing has shifted, prompting coverage of the climate link.
