Woodlands around the world could be at risk due to the over-extraction of groundwater, according to scientists at Australia s National centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT). Even if forests and woodlands are in countries that have wetter climates, extracting large amounts of groundwater can result in trees dying due to the lack of water available for them to drink.
According to the research, trees that live in areas with wetter climes could be more at risk of groundwater over-extraction as they are more sensitive to changes in water demands. Professor Derek Eamus, of NCGRT and the University Technology of Sydney (UTS), said that trees in wetter climates could be less likely to survive than those in semi-dry environments because of their increased sensitivity to water stress.

Now two new Flinders University studies of long-term hydro-climatic patterns provide fresh insights into the causes of the island continent’s strong climate variability which affects extreme wet or dry weather and other conditions vital to water supply, agriculture, the environment and the nation’s future.
