That suggested to the team that olms may breed in the springs—though the team still finds it more likely to occur underground, due the riskier nature of the aboveground pools.

They also play a central role in many processes that cascade to aboveground communities and the atmosphere.

Walking the 100 yards from Holly’s front door to her goat pen requires stepping over three aboveground pipelines that crisscross through her neighborhood.
