Elephants move closer to humans when droughts are sustained
If drought in an area persists longer, elephants move closer to areas near human settlements. This is the finding of research by biologist Irene Bouwman of Radboud University. During short-term droughts, the animals remain close to rivers and lakes and move less than normal.
Extreme droughts in the rainforest reduce important feedback between soil and atmosphere,
Isoprene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that is produced naturally by plants. More than 500 megatonnes of isoprene are emitted each year into Earth's atmosphere, primarily from tropical forests. Soils are recognized sinks for atmospheric isoprene, but their behavior in natu
This year's El Nino likely to become record-breaker: Top expert

Running dry: How to store more groundwater for dry seasons
More frequent weather extremes are leading to water shortages during droughts, and flooding during heavy rain. But groundwater storage can help secure water for dry seasons while mitigating extreme rain.
