Some media coverage of the special volume of the International Journal of Water where the recent biotic pump overview appeared: Water for an integrative climate paradigm.

Abstract
Intense condensation associated with high evaporation from natural forest cover maintains regions of low atmospheric pressure on land. This causes moist air to flow from ocean to land, which compensates the river runoff. Deforestation induces large-scale desiccation by disrupting this flow. Here we overview this theory and quantify the horizontal pressure gradients that govern the continental moisture supply. High evaporation and extensive natural forests guarantee both a stable and high throughput hydrological cycle. Forests protect a continent against devastating floods, droughts, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Sustaining natural forests is a sound strategy for water security and climate stabilisation.
Water for an integrative climate paradigm
March 14, 2011
International climate negotiations are deadlocked between the affluent global North and "developing" South, between political Left and Right, and between believers and sceptics. Now, authors writing in the latest issue of the International Journal of Water argue that a more integrative analysis of climate should help resolve these conflicts.
You've got to give it to the Russians - they certainly boldly go where no IPCC clique climate "scientist" dares to tread.
