High CO2 levels are greening the world's drylands, is that good news?

Drylands are vast and home to a wide array of biodiversity, while also hosting a large portion of the world's farmland, but they face continued desertification, despite many of them recently experiencing increased vegetation levels. Five million hectares (12 million acres) of drylands, an area half the size of South Korea, have been desertified due to climate change since 1980, but elevated CO2 levels are also driving a regreening of some areas, which some argue is a positive effect of pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. However, our guest on this episode says this isn't necessarily good news: remote-sensing researcher Arden Burrell describes how the CO2 fertilization effect is greening some dryland ecosystems, and why this worries scientists who say it may mask land overuse and decreased water resources.

If at any point you've been interested in water harvesting in dryland contexts, it's almost impossible that you've missed Brad Lancaster's work. His pioneering activities and projects in Tucson, AZ have propelled a movement of water wise landscaping, rainwater harvesting, and smart water reuse all around the world. While so many of the examples I've highlighted in this series relate to actions and strategies for working with the land, a huge majority of Brad's work is focused on the urban and suburban context with everything from roof water, to road and storm drain diversion, and greywater and systems.  In the last handful of episodes we've explored permaculture earthworks for water harvesting landscapes and keyline design on large scales. As a complement to those topics I got in touch with Brad Lancaster, the author Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, volumes one and two which have recently been re-released as expanded new editions. Brad is an expert in the field of rainwater harvesting and water management whose work I've been following for a long time. He is also a permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and co-founder of the non-profit Desert Harvesters, which teaches the public how to identify, harvest, and process many of the native-food plants people are propagating in their areas. He's also been instrumental in helping to change water management policy and government incentives in the City of Tucson to help others implement water wise catchment and reuse features on their properties.  In this interview we cover a wide range of topics from the difference between active and passive harvesting technology and reading the landscape to determine how to work with the natural surroundings, to the increasing importance for water stewardship in non-arid climates and why it's so important to connect and invest in the place you already live rather than thinking that moving to another place will solve your environmental worries.  Brad also gives great advice on home scale water harvesting and storage which are all topics that are covered extensively in his books. He's done an incredible job with the help of many experts and collaborators to compile tons of resources that are available to help you get started on his website
