  2. Drought Leads To Change In Tree Canopies (Pat Hernandez – KUHF News, 10/17/2012)
    There is a bumper crop of nuts falling from trees here in the Houston area this fall. Experts say it’s a combination of the trees’ natural cycle and to stress from the drought. They also say while trees learn to adapt, the canopy’s composition will change.

  3. Putting a price tag on where endangered species live (Matthew Tresaugue – Houston Chronicle, 10/20/2012)
    A proposed policy shift regarding the protection of threatened or endangered species calls for an economic analysis to be done at the same time the government designates a territory as essential for the recovery of a plant or animal on the brink of extinction. This change is meant to give the public a better understanding of the potential economic impacts upfront and may produce more exclusions of private and state land from such a designation.
