Our new paper in Nature, maps groundwater-dependent ecosystems at high-resolution (~30 m) and finds them present on more than one-third of global drylands analyzed, including important global biodiversity hotspots. Our map provides critical information for prioritizing and developing policies and protection mechanisms across various local, regional or international scales to safeguard these important ecosystems and the societies dependent on them https://lnkd.in/ghsDSp66 Nature Portfolio, The Nature Conservancy, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Desert Research Institute, University of Victoria, The World Bank, South African National Biodiversity Institute, Mie University, FLAME University, California State University, Monterey Bay, Arizona State University, Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd, Office of Research University of California Santa Barbara, Bren School of Environmental Science & Management - University of California, Santa Barbara
