👉 The Tucson Project is a collaborative research initiative focused on understanding the complex interactions within desert ecosystems, particularly in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, Arizona. It brings together ecologists, hydrologists, and climate scientists to study how plants, animals, and microorganisms adapt to extreme arid conditions. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms behind species resilience and ecosystem stability, with a focus on water use efficiency, carbon cycling, and biodiversity. By integrating field observations, remote sensing, and modeling, the Tucson Project seeks to inform conservation strategies and enhance our understanding of desert ecology in the face of climate change.
