MEDIA RELEASE: Sugarcane farms near coastal wetlands better protected from cyclones, new study finds
Sugarcane farmers in North Queensland may have a natural ally protecting their crops from cyclone damage — the mangroves and saltmarshes along their coastline. A new study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology has found that agricultural fields within one kilometre of coastal wetlands experienced less flooding and lower crop cover losses following Tropical Cyclone Debbie, suggesting these ecosystems provide a meaningful buffer against extreme weather events. Lead researcher Phebe Fidge, from the Centre for Nature Positive Solutions at RMIT University, said “Cyclones can have devastating impacts on coastal agricultural areas, and they will hit coastlines harder as the…

If two distant groups of animals such as springtails have similar DNA,…
