A study by IIT Kharagpur, Calcutta University, and the University of Western Ontario suggests that tropical rainforests (TRFs) like the Amazon and Western Ghats can endure future global warming. By analyzing 56-million-year-old sediments from Gujarat’s Vastan coal mines, the team uncovered how TRFs thrived during Earth’s most intense warming period, the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).
