With changing climate it is difficult to predict who will win the 300 million year war. What has gone wrong when herbivores get the upper hand and strip plants bare? The battle ground is changing such that different conditions could favour either the plants or the herbivores. When the balance is broken we could have an ‘outbreak’, which is a situation where one side of the war gets an unfair advantage and grows unchecked. Will climate change compromise the abilities of plants, including our crops, to defend themselves?
Games
These games are suitable for keyboard users. Use the Tab, Enter and arrow keys to move around the screen. For 'Outbreak', you'll also need to use the slider bars. Tab to a slider then use the + and – buttons from the main keypad (not the number pad) to adjust the levels.
Experiments to try at home
We're going to try an arms race of a different kind. Rather than pitching animals against plants, we'll be trying to see who can grow the fastest plants in Growth race.
