Drought in CA

Date: 
07/2015
Disturbance Type: 
Drought

ForWarn detected a drought anomaly in grass dominant areas of California. Grass is an ephemeral indicator of drought, browning and regreening in a noticeable pattern consistent with expectations of reduced spring productivity. The decline will continue to reduce as the grasses transition to their normative summer brown.
