SUMMARY:Plants under Pressure (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Declining Water Availability is Reshaping Plant Communities  \nAcross the U.S. Southwest, more frequent drought and rising temperatures are intensifying the long-standing issue of groundwater overconsumption, with important consequences for the resilience and recovery of ecological communities. Learn about ongoing research in and around Borrego Springs that examines how declining groundwater availability is reshaping desert plant communities through direct and indirect pathways. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nLearn how the effects of declining water availability can interact with land management decisions to shape recovery trajectories. \n\n\nGain insight into how these pressures contributed to the passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, the first statewide regulation of groundwater use. \n\n\nExplore difficult decisions about retiring irrigated farmland and broader questions about how limited groundwater resources should be allocated. \n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nEcologists, botanists, and environmental scientists interested in climate impacts on ecosystems  \n\n\nWater managers, planners, and sustainability professionals working on groundwater and drought resilience  \n\n\nConservation practitioners and land managers focused on habitat recovery and desert ecosystems  \n\n\nPolicy professionals and decision-makers interested in California water management and land-use challenges  \n\n\nStudents, educators, and researchers studying climate change, ecology, or natural resource management  \n\n\nCommunity members and environmental advocates interested in the future of water and ecosystems in the Southwest \n\n \nREGISTER TODAY!
