The relative abundance of C plant species increases with latitude because of the associated temperature gradient. A study in North America found that at  42°  North,  C3  plants  become more  abundant than  C4  plants. Given  an  increase in  mean global  temperatures by  10°C and no  other changes in  environmental conditions,  the latitude at which C3 plants become more abundant:
