Aridification: The New Normal in the Southwest - Scientists warn of a long-term shift to a drier climate in Arizona and the region, driven by rising temperatures. This leads to less usable water due to increased evaporation, earlier springs, and hotter falls. Tree rings show todays dry periods are warmer than past ones, stressing trees and reducing river runoff. Desert plants struggle with fewer but bigger rain events and warmer winters. Water managers are adapting, and scientists urge steps like planting native species to help ecosystems cope with the heat and dryness ahead.
