| Ecological Complexity: |
 |
While water is gradually turning into global problem number one, scientists are keen to know more about the natural mechanisms that might help ensure water security on a regional scale. A new theory developed at the interface of physics and ecology reveals that natural vegetation cover (forests) plays a by far more significant role in the continental water budget than ever thought. Read more about it in the article: 'Precipitation on land versus distance from the ocean: Evidence for a forest pump of atmospheric moisture' (Ecological Complexity, Article in Press). |
