Take note of tropical forest ecosystems to combat drought

We must take notice of the hydrological ecosystem services of tropical forests to avoid "mega-droughts" and devastating wildfires in Amazonian forests, says Brazilian conservation biologist Carlos Peres. The severe droughts of 1997, 1998, 2005 and 2010 changed the general view that tropical forests can resist fire destruction because of the moisture stored underneath heavy canopies, Peres says. ...

Measuring water level to restore degraded mangrove forests

Mangrove restoration projects are carried out world-wide to rehabilitate degraded mangrove forests. These restoration projects often have a low success rate because planting of new trees is done without taking into account site-specific hydrological conditions. To bring more hydrological knowledge into mangrove restoration projects, an international group of researchers, including Bram te Brake ...
