Smithsonian scientists flood Anne Arundel forest each summer
Original: Why Smithsonian scientists flood an Anne Arundel forest every summer
Smithsonian Environmental Research Center scientists deliberately flood a forest in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, every summer as part of a long-running experiment. By pumping water into the wetland forest, researchers simulate sea-level rise to study how coastal ecosystems and carbon storage respond to climate change. The unusual project draws attention for its hands-on approach to understanding what rising seas will do to Maryland's tidal forests.
Why now: Interest in climate research showing how sea-level rise affects coastal forests in Maryland.
