Description: |
Drought-stricken areas anxiously await the arrival of rain. Full recovery of the ecosystem, however, can extend long past the first rain drops on thirsty ground. According to a new study, the length of drought recovery depends on several factors, including the region of the world and the post-drought weather conditions. The authors of this study warn that more frequent droughts in the future may not allow time for ecosystems to fully recover before the next drought hits. [Source: University of Utah]
