Streams, Soils, Strategies And (Stressed Out?) Survivors - Ecohydrology In Seasonally Dry Climates

Thompson , Sally 1 1 University of California, Berkeley Seasonally dry ecosystems (or SDEs) include Mediterranean, Monsoonal and Tropically Dry climates. SDEs occur worldwide and share a pronounced contrast in precipitation between a wet season, and a dry season in which little to no rain falls. Water availability in SDEs...
