"Australia’s “Red Centre” Turns Green

"Abundant rainfall in February and March 2026 transformed the desert landscape of Central Australia." #vegetation #downunder #australia
I'd really like to see this in person. How does a lush autumn in the red center look like? I've only seen it in hot and dry and yellow/brown tones apart from certain special places like King's Canyon or similar.

#Vegetation patterns and #ecosystem #resilience: relationship status “complicated”
Certain #patterns can indicate both increased and reduced ecosystem resilience
In dryland ecosystems, increased environmental stress often triggers a change from a uniform vegetation cover to patchy vegetation patterns. Some theoretical studies suggest that this spatial self-organization of vegetation helps ecosystems delay and avoid desertification. Using a new theoretical framework that takes account of previously neglected but for capturing reality highly relevant parameters, scientists from the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at HZDR demonstrate that this is not the case in general. They argue that such vegetation patterns can, by contrast, be a sign of reduced resilience (PNAS, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2511994123).
