We've committed to protect 30% of Australia's land by 2030. To reach our ambitious goal of boosting protection to 30% by 2030, we’ll have to sharpen our focus and boost funding. Here's how we could actually do it. theconversation.com/weve-com… via @ConversationEDU

We’ve committed to protect 30% of Australia’s land by 2030. Here’s how we could actually do it

To protect nearly a third of Australia by decade’s end will mean expanding our national parks, Indigenous Protected Areas and protection across private land.

Forest on shallow soils are susceptible to drought. Using geophysics we show shallow can be 20 m deep in the northern Jarrah forest of Western Australia @Science_DBCA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Geophysics reveals forest vulnerability to drought

Drought and heat-induced forest die-off are being increasingly reported across the planet. As vulnerable areas tend to have thin soils and poor water holding capacities, quantification of soil depth...
