ScienceDaily: Approximately 25 to 50 percent of a living tree is made up of water, depending on the species and time of year. The water stored in trees has previously been considered just a minor part of the water cycle, but a new study by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists shows otherwise. Research published this week in Nature Scientific Reports is the first to show that the uptake of snowmelt water by deciduous trees represents a large and previously overlooked aspect of the water balance in boreal...

California's water woes quantified
2014-12-17 05:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists have assessed the scale of the epic California drought and say it will require more than 40 cubic km of water to return the US state to normal. The figure was worked out by weighing the land from space. The American West Coast has been hit by big storms in recent days, but this rainfall is only expected to make a small dent in California's problems. Researchers described their research at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting in San Francisco. The US space agency (Nasa)...
