Which statement best describes how Figure 3 and the information in “Natural Beauty at Risk” show the impact of climate change on Yellowstone National Park?

A.) Special graphical maps show changes in some parks, like Yellowstone National Park. Using these maps shows that climate change will cause temperatures to keep increasing, altering the types of trees found in Yellowstone, including new forests made up of Rocky Mountain Subalpine and Montane Conifer Forest, and Great Basin Montane Scrub.

B.) High-resolution images show changes within individual sections of Yellowstone National Park. These images show that climate changes will cause Rocky Mountain Subalpine Conifer Forest to be replaced with Great Basin Conifer Woodland within the next 100 years. This is a huge change to the primary vegetation in Yellowstone.

C.) High-resolution images show that forests in Yellowstone National Park consisting of spruce and fir trees adapted to warmer summertime temperatures. However, as temperatures begin to rise, these forests will be replaced by Subalpine and Montane Conifer forests, woodlands, and shrub grasslands.

D.) In national parks, such as Yellowstone National Park, high-resolution maps show how warmer temperatures are impacting the makeup of the forests and landscape. Because of climate change, Great Basin Conifer Woodland and Desert Scrub will be replaced, within the next decade, by Rocky Mountain Subalpine and Montane Conifer Forest. This will change Yellowstone forever.
