Lessen impacts of flooding by absorbing water and reducing the speed at which flood waters flow. Upstream wetlands can serve to store flood waters temporarily and <span>release them slowly downstream.</span>
Thermodynamics is the correct answer.
Biology is the study of life, and uses the scientific method, the basis of science, to do so. Hypotheses are made, tested, and remade, until a theory is made, which then becomes Scientific law.
It really is impossible to predict such a matter. I mean, think about it, its nearly impossible to think about how earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exsist, or if that heat never exsisted in the first place, because that is how planets are formed.
One thing is certain however, life wouldn't be the same without plate tectonics; in one case, the constont transgression/regression, sue in large part of tectonic forces acts as a evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. EXAMPLE: the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics, life would certainly be dramatically different.

Generally people would say that the result are published in journals, and it is true that Journals are often the first opportunity for many people to read about those results.
However, it takes a long time to publish in a journal, and people often present their results to a smaller audience at a conference before the journal is ready.
