I read that and thought if we are already on the second year of drought
and the forest cannot withstand more than 2 consecutive years this is
really serious. My next thought was to wonder if the media making it
sound serious. So I went to the Woods Hole Institute website and I
couldn't find any mention of it. Perhaps I didn't search diligently
enough. However this experience does leave me feeling it has probably
been hyped up.
Anyone know where the scientific research rather than media report can
be accessed?
