Water in Desert Soil

from Science Moab Hosted by Peggy Hodgkins

Deserts are characterized by having limited amounts of water. The plants that live in these dry climates are there because the soil holds onto just enough water for plants to survive. But climate change has the potential to change the amount of soil water available to plants. Here, Dr. John Bradford explains how soil moisture influences plant communities in the Southwest and how management actions & climate change can interact to alter water available to plants.
