More citrus trees to be destroyed because of drought
“It’s a big challenge,” s마사지 닷컴aid Dr. R.J. Martin, a climate scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey who studies tropical forest ecosystem health. “There are trees all over the place. And in many places, if you don’t get rain, you don’t get fruit. There are tropical forests in New Mexico that are dying off. And that’s causing deforestation.”
The scientists say they have identified two major culprits. One is droughts. For one major year, there was a five-year drought in 2003-04. But the trees in drought-parched areas are being hit hard, Martin said, and that has led to damage to their health.
And another factor is deforestation, he said.
According to a 2012 World Economic Forum study, about 11 million square출장 안마 miles of tropical rainforests are degraded to jus바카라t 1 million square miles under modern conditions. That is half of the entire Amazon rainforest.
