A 5,900-year-old forest was found preserved under ice at Wyoming ’s Beartooth Plateau , offering valuable insight into ancient ecosystems.

The trees were discovered 180 meters above the current tree line, suggesting that when they were alive, temperatures were warm enough to support forests at much higher elevations.

With global temperatures continuing to rise, scientists expect tree lines to shift even higher, altering habitats and ecosystems.
