Study: Blueberry Barrens Warming Faster Than The Rest Of Maine
Maine’s wild blueberry barrens are warming faster than the rest of the state.
That’s according to a new study, recently published by scientists at the University of Maine.
It found that across 26 wild blueberry fields in Washington and Hancock counties, the maximum recorded air temperature over the last 40 years had risen by about 1.2 degrees Celsius, while elsewhere in the state, the temperature had risen by less than a degree during the same period.
