Reforested areas rival mature forests in securing water, study finds
by Malavika Vyawahare on 2 March 2021
New research from Madagascar shows that young scrubby forests can in some ways be better at retaining water than older mature forests.
They provide similar benefits in preventing runoff but use up lesser water, according to a recently published paper in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
However, some hydrologists say the effects of evapotranspiration, water released back into the atmosphere by trees, on rainfall in areas farther afield must not be ignored.
If scrubby forests are as efficient as older ones in retaining water, it means reforestation boosts water resources available to communities who take part in reforestation drives.
