Researchers from UC Davis can now predict which forests could survive despite future drought. Their new method links precipitation to tree growth, and it can help people decide where to put their resources as climate change affects patterns of snow and rainfall that impact the health of forests
"If a forest is doing OK, but in the future we know it's likely to get only half the average rainfall it used to get, we can calculate the likelihood it will die"
