Article Synopsis
  • Climate change is expected to significantly affect plant communities in midlatitude drylands, especially by increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns.
  • A study in Western Wyoming found that C grasses (a certain type of grass) are present, which means they can spread into areas that become more suitable for their growth due to climate changes.
  • The modeling results showed that suitability for both C and C grasses is projected to increase throughout the Upper Green River Basin, with C grasses potentially boosting their biomass by 21% by mid-century under certain climate scenarios.

Physiographic and hydrologic complexities play major role in determining the habitat suitability for river dolphins. However, dams and other water development structures alter hydrologic regimes that degrade habitat conditions. For the three extant species of obligate freshwater dolphins, namely: Amazon dolphin (), Ganges dolphin (), and Indus dolphin (), the threat is high as dams and water-based infrastructure dotted throughout their distribution range impact dolphin populations by restricting their movement.
