The amount of water stored in more than half of the largest lakes and reservoirs worldwide is declining, a 2023 Science study found.
The results underscore the importance of better water management to protect essential ecosystem services. scim.ag/41GM96M #WorldWaterDay

What determines the height of a forest? A study finds that soil properties, topography, and regional climate explain 75% of the variation in tropical forest canopy height. Dry season length and elevation were among the key variables. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Amazonian deforestation is making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons dryer, according to research in Nature. The analysis highlights the local and regional effects of removing trees from the tropical region. https://go.nature.com/41jCClO 🧪
