Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers

Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

Climate change is reducing the nutritional value of some foods that plant eaters rely on.

One-third of all animals on Earth depend on plant-based diets.

Plant-eating animals may need more time to find and consume food if their usual meal becomes less nutritious.

Reduced nutritional values can also make animals less fit, reducing their ability to grow, reproduce and survive.

Certain types of plant-feeding animals are likely to face greater declines because they need higher-quality food.

Rodents, rabbits, koalas , horses, rhinoceroses and elephants are all hind-gut fermenters animals.

Smaller animals typically require more nutrient-dense food than larger ones, because they have faster metabolisms and consume more energy per unit of body mass.
