What Goes Around Comes Around: How Long-Term Weather Patterns Affect Plants in Carolina Bay Wetlands
This article looks at how long-term weather patterns affect freshwater wetlands. Specifically, scientists looked at freshwater wetlands called Carolina bays – shallow depressions in forests that fill with rainfall during...
