"Researchers from the University of Arizona looked at 236 species of grass — which included crops like wheat, maize, rice, and sorghum — and compared their ability to adapt to and successfully grow in changing environments with the forecasted climate conditions for 2070. If climatic shifts change the niche climate for crops — the particular environment in which that crop thrives — crops can survive by either moving to another location or evolving to thrive in the changed environment.
For grasses, however, the researchers found that in most instances, the grasses were not able to adapt to a different environment as quickly as the pace of climate change. In some instances, the climate change outpaced the grasses’ adaptation 20,000-fold."
