Going through preliminary #analysis of my field data from #Somaliland. The black dots are the locations of dead #juniper #trees at my #field site, which is located in an area that has been experiencing #dieback (red shade), and borders an area that has been rehabilitated through #soil and #water conservation (green shade).
