California Could Be , In Store for Another Vibrant , Superbloom in 2023.
'Newsweek' reports that following months
of heavy rainfall, California is experiencing
a spectacular superbloom.
The vibrant phenomenon has
not occurred since 2019. .
Native wildflowers, like poppies, create
carpets of brightly-colored flowers that can
even appear in the state's deserts. .
Every time we see a superbloom, it is a gift
because of the number of conditions that
must perfectly align. Some of those we
understand, some remain part
of nature's beautiful mysteries, Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director
for the California Native Plant Society, via 'Newsweek'.
Since December, the state has been
battered by extreme storms that have
caused flooding and other disruptions.
The 2019 California superbloom
was so bright that it was
visible from space.
While some experts have predicted that
the recent heavy rains could result in another
"really spectacular" superbloom, others remain hesitant. .
There's not a linear relationship
between overall precipitation
amounts and super blooms, Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director
for the California Native Plant Society, via 'Newsweek'.
They really depend on a number
of factors, and overall precipitation
is only one of those factors. Scientists
are still trying to understand what
makes some years greater than others. , Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director
for the California Native Plant Society, via 'Newsweek'.
Conclusions are that it involves
the amount of precipitation, timing
of precipitation, and the interaction
between precipitation and temperature, Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director
