A map released Tuesday in the journal Nature offers the first comprehensive map of the world’s underground water sources and the ecosystems that depend on them. In…
An ecosystem can be directly or indirectly dependent, [7] as well as have a variation in groundwater use throughout the seasons. [1] There are a variety of methods for classifying types of groundwater-dependent ecosystems either by their geomorphological setting and/or by their respective groundwater flow mechanism (deep or shallow).

California is the only state with a groundwater law that includes provisions intended to protect groundwater-dependent ecosystems. But the law, adopted in 2014, gives considerable leeway to local ...
Terrestrial ecoregions of the world. This is a list of terrestrial ecoregions as compiled by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The WWF identifies terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecoregions. The terrestrial scheme divides the Earth's land surface into 8 biogeographic realms, containing 867 smaller ecoregions.
