Researchers conducted a unique experiment simulating a drought in the rainforest ecosystem of Biosphere 2. Lasting around 9.5 weeks, this drought severely affected carbon storage dynamics. Interestingly, deep water reserves played a crucial role in helping some plant species withstand the challenging dry conditions. The variability in responses among different species to water scarcity and their recovery rates provided essential data on drought resilience and water management within ecosystems.
