Giant curtain built in Peru to study climate change in the cloud forests

Biologist Dan Metcalfe is leading a study that seeks to understand how climate change may affect the cloud forests of Peru and elsewhere in Latin America, using a giant curtain to affect the local environment. A professor at Lund University in Sweden, Metcalfe describes his unprecedented plan as “an experimental approach where we actually physically try to remove clouds from a portion of the forest.” The cloud forest is a unique ecosystem, which, although small in land area, provides enormous...
