University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists are developing a new method to predict ecosystem change in Interior Alaska, and their techniques could prove useful elsewhere in the world. The study uses real-time water data, rather than simulations, to predict ecosystem “tipping points.” “We’re pretty good, as ecosystem ecologists, at using stream chemistry to tell us […]
