The vulnerability of springs and phreatophyte communities to groundwater level declines in Oregon and Nevada, 2002–2021

Increased groundwater demand is causing aquifer declines that impact viability of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) like springs and phreatophyte communities. To understand which springs and phreatophyte communities may be stressed by groundwater level declines in Oregon and Nevada, we assesse...
