University of Minnesota Extension water management experts to examine how shoreland plants roads through the fluctuating water levels, periodic droughts and floods that climate change should lead to be affected.
To protect the soil from the path of water quality by stabilizing banks, reduce runoff and erosion and improving wildlife habitats. Researchers do not know how climate change could affect the survival of the plants have the ability to shoreland plants.
According to Barbara Liukkonen, Extension program leader in water, then the climate change effects into account when communities and individual landowners to plan regeneration projects. "If they survive, the plants grow faster and in different climatic conditions in the future, we will ensure that the project we work on our shoreline as we know, and help Minnesota to protect water resources," Liukkonen said.
The research team is conducting his studies at the University of St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in Minneapolis.
