A couple recently visited the East Coast for fall leaf-peeping but saw mostly green leaves. A scientist shares how extreme heat from summer into fall can impact the timing and color of fall leaves.
If you're into leaf-peeping, be patient because the picture-perfect bright red, orange, and yellow colors may be a bit delayed. Some scientists say the extreme heat over summer into fall could be to blame.
"We took a cruise that was called 'Fall Colors.' It's supposed to be this time of year that went from New York to Montreal," said Merrie.The couple's cruise took them to several stops in Canada and all along the East Coast including Newport, Rhode Island, Boston, Massachusetts, and Bar Harbor, Maine. They were especially excited about an excursion to Acadia National Park.
Serbin also expects there to be scientific studies to see if Canadian wildfire smoke has played a role in the vibrancy and timing of fall foliage since smoke particles can impact sunlight and therefore leaf photosynthesis.
