More trees leads to more water; look into micro climates. Even in deserts! See China's Green Wall.

- Arodex 2mo agoChina's green wall hasn't met objectives, is worsening water losses, and isn't solving desertification.
- sethammons 2mo agoThis led me down some research papers. Thanks! It looks like you are more right. Without environmental moisture to capture, the trees are effectively straws depleting ground water and losing it to evaporation. The Yucatan has enough moisture blowing in that trees aid in capturing moisture and increasing rainfall. Without an outside source of moisture, the false desert forests are likely making things worse water wise.
