what really hits home is that all water management starts with the beaver. everywhere possible. And throw in bison to open up forests as rell. we can work with both creatures. and i do mean work. Running wild causes unnessary problems
Beavers produce handy wetlands. wetlands produce handy bullrush fodder that can be siloed. for winter fodder even for beavers and certainly for cattle, bison and even moose. We can make the equipment to make this feasible. We do not although we can, eat the odd beaver as well. My point is that we females do adjust to domexstication.
Adding bison to cattle herds is also already practised because it allows management. That makes it all work. The bison produce wallows and this activates the grasslands for water capture.
this provies a working bibliography on work in progress. long before we go crazy on engineering ,we need to fully rebuild the working biome. fields are easy for tractors but hard for everything else including ourselves.
The small water cycle papers
The evolutionary history of precipitation recycling as told through journal articles
Apr 19
My journey into water began in the permaculture and ecorestoration world, where people were talking about how trees can create rain through transpiration, and how, somehow, scientists had overlooked this important phenomenon. With a background in physics, I was intrigued by the idea of vegetation-generated rainfall and wanted to understand the science behind it.
To my surprise, the deeper I looked, the more I realized that scientists had, in fact, been studying this phenomenon extensively. There is a vast body of research on the subject, it’s just been siloed from practitioners. Scientists in turn did not know there were a lot of eco and water restoration people very interested in this topic. I began to see how important it was to connect the ecorestoration and water cycle restoration communities with scientists, and for both groups to engage more closely with governance and policy makers.
With that in mind, I’ve compiled what I believe are some of the most important papers in the evolution of this precipitation recycling/small water cycle field.
As you read through the titles, you may notice the wide range of themes on this topic. Arranged chronologically, the papers reveal how different lines of inquiry into precipitation recycling have developed in parallel over time, which I find fascinating. I’ve marked what I personally think are the coolest papers with a * . There are papers about the use of stable isotopes, various observational studies, and climate models to show precipitation recycling. There is work showing how land degradation and deforestation affects rain, work reviewing how land use change in general affects precipitation, and how to understand the forests total role to the water cycle. There is work on teleconnections, how deforestation on one continent affects rain on another. There is work on how soil moisture can improve weather forecasts of rain. There are various papers on how different scientists worked to define precipitation recycling and what numbers to put on it. I’ve included research on how bacteria and fungi can help seed rainfall, since land use directly affects the abundance of these organisms.
I’m fascinated by how a scientific field evolves. Through my podcast, I’ve had the honor to interview several researchers who have helped shape our understanding of precipitation recycling, and whose numerous papers are to be found below. These include Millan Millan, who investigated how much land needs to be restored to bring back rainfall and proposed a rough benchmark of 6×6 miles (10×10 km). His work with the European Union explored why Spain was losing rainfall, linking it to deforestation, wetland drainage, and land paving, all of which disrupt evapotranspiration. I’ve spoken with Anastasia Makarieva, who, along with the late Victor Gorshkov, developed the biotic pump theory. This theory describes how forests draw in ocean moisture by transpiring enough water to influence large-scale atmospheric circulation. I’ve interviewed Francina Dominguez, who has mapped out the movement of precipitation recycling across South America and the United States, Ruud van der Ent who came up with the global map of where evapotranspiration was rising and where it came down, Wang Lan Erlandsson who developed the idea of planetary green water boundaries which is connected with how much water our vegetation has to transpire to create rain, when we cross those boundaries it lessens our rains, and Patrick Keys, who developed with van der Ent the idea of precipitationsheds, which is the range of area where water evapotranspires to provide rain for a particular local area. Patrick Keys also mapped out how much different cities depend on precipitation recycling and the quality of land in nearby areas to generate that rain.
You can explore these papers through Google Scholar, where links to full texts are sometimes available. You can also use DOI numbers, which you can get from Google Scholar, to locate papers through other repositories like sci-hub.su where you can then read them for free. And don’t worry if you don’t understand science jargon, these days you don’t have to be a scientist to read papers, you can use AI to summarize and interpreting the research into layperson’s language for you.
