Description:
After a record-breaking hot summer and significant dry spell, ecologists fear large pockets of WA’s central to southwest coast are facing a forest collapse, where trees and other smaller plants get so dry, they die. One expert describes it as coral bleaching on land, and just like in the ocean, it can have serious implications to the wider ecosystem, impacting breeding habits and potentially entire population of species.
