Up to one in six plant species could be wiped out within 75 years, warns a new study.

Researchers found that 7% to 16% of global plant species studied are expected to lose more than 90% of their range by 2100 under current climate change projections.

The ecological modeling study shows that many plants face a “high risk” of extinction by the end of the century — including eucalyptus — under current climate change projections.

High extinction rates are projected in southern Europe, the western United States and southern Australia- posing risks to both ancient and economically vital plant species.

But some areas will actually see an increase in species richness over the next few decades, according to the study.
