<span style="color: rgb(30, 30, 30);">Collecting sugar maple sap is an economically and culturally important practice in the Northeast. Both sugar content and sap flow are sensitive to temperature; thus,&#xa0;researchers sought to elucidate how climate change might affect maple syrup production. After observing six sugar maple stands across the species&#x2019; range for a period of up to six years, they predict that the timing of peak sap collection could jump forward by one month by the year 2100 under a &#x201c;business as usual&#x201d; greenhouse gas emissions scenario. They also predict a decline in sap sugar content, and the region of maximum sap flow could shift northwards by about 400 km. The authors write that their findings suggest climate change will have a significant impact on syrup yield across the majority of sugar maple&#x2019;s range.</span>&#xa0;</div>
