Study finds drought recoveries taking longer
Description: As global temperatures continue to rise, droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe in many regions during this century. A new study finds that land ecosystems took progressively longer to recover from droughts in the 20th century, and incomplete drought recovery may become the new normal in some areas, possibly leading to tree death and increased emissions of greenhouse gases.
