Logjams May Be Transient but Their Effect is Long Lasting

by Patricia Saco 20 May 202215 November 2022

Even though natural logjams in rivers continuously change and maybe short-lived, their effects in terms of geomorphic diversity and habitat can be surprisingly long-lasting.

Weighing the Benefits of Urban Greening

Rishika Pardikar, Science Writer by Rishika Pardikar 2 March 202217 April 2024

City communities may need to consider whether water absorption or cooling benefits are more important when designing urban greening.

Evolution is More Important than Environment for Water Uptake

by Valeriy Ivanov 8 February 20223 May 2022

Despite conventional assumptions, a new study shows that evolutionary proximity of species defines root water uptake strategies, not their position in landscape or ambient environment.
