The video discusses the decline in vegetation along the Colorado River and a historic agreement between the US and Mexico to release a pulse of water into the riverbed. This pulse flow in 2014 revitalized the ecosystem, replenishing groundwater and increasing vegetation. Scientists used satellite data to track these changes, noting significant increases in green vegetation. Future studies will focus on the long-term ecological impacts, including effects on bird populations.

What methods are scientists using to track the response of vegetation to the water pulse?

What are scientists looking to observe regarding new trees and shrubs in the area?
