Nevada Cave Reveals an Ancient Climate Paradox
By analysing chemical fingerprints in a Nevada cave, scientists have reconstructed 580,000 years of climate history in the American southwest. They found that while temperature and ice sheets were major drivers of change, vegetation growth paradoxically plummeted during the warmest periods due to a sharp drop in available water.
