An interesting possibility arises for high school students to pursue when it comes to vegetation of the future. If a school has a greenhouse, or if students have access to one in the community, interesting possibilities may arise for trying to create conditions of the future due to climate change.
Is it possible to take climate model predictions for average temperatures, moisture, soil conditions and create them in a controlled environment? If so, students could look at current vegetation and crops in a greenhouse under the predicted environmental conditions. How do current plants and crops react to those changes? Or what plants would grow best in those predicted conditions? Something like this could be fun to pursue, and if one had good control to set up and sustain different environment conditions within the greenhouse, and entire research program could be developed. Something to think about.
