The harsh climate of most desert regions is a major obstacle in conducting research into these ecosystems. In the environments requiring special adaptations to survive, it is often difficult or even impossible for researchers to spend extended periods of time investigating the ecology of such regions.
Christmas tree farms are staring down a new set of dangers, including climate change-fueled weather disasters and a shifting labor market.
