From: Climate-Altered Wetlands Challenge Waterbird Use and Migratory Connectivity in Arid Landscapes
Hydro-climatic relationships in dry systems. Associations of climate variability with wetland water type (fresh, saline and hypersaline) and the connection to specific migratory waterbird life-history stages. The relationship between wetland type and climate illustrates the contraction of variability in wetland type during wet (blue wedge) and dry (orange wedge) years. As shifts continue toward a warmer, drier climate, the diversity of wetland types will transform.
