Leaf peeping, the practice of traveling to watch nature display its fall colors, have been disrupted by some serious threats from the era of climate change. Arborists and ecologists say the trend is likely to continue as the planet warms.
For a cheery autumnal activity, leaf peeping is facing some serious threats from the era of climate change.
“Instead of trees doing this gradual change, they get thrown these wacky weather events. They change all of a sudden, or they drop leaves early,” Sundberg said. “Its been a few years since we’ve had a really good leaf year where you just drive around town and see really good color.” Worse, dry summers can stress trees and cause their leaves to miss the fall color turn altogether, Schaberg said. A 2003 study in the journal Tree Physiology that Schaberg cowrote stated that “environmental stress can accelerate” leaf deterioration.
