Plants at Risk (IMAGE) Ohio State University Caption The map shows predicted levels of risk to more than 150,000 plant species. Using vast amounts of open-access data, researchers were able to identify high-risk plants worldwide. Warmer colors denote areas with larger numbers of potentially at-risk species, while cooler colors denote areas with low overall predicted risk. Credit Anahí Espíndola and Tara Pelletier.
