Tire ruts, visible here in a vernal pond Feb. 13, 2017 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., can destroy a sensitive ecosystem. These seasonal, temporary vernal pools are home to countless forms of wildlife, including the endangered vernal pool Fairy Shrimp. The shrimp cysts can stay dormant in the ground for many years, until ideal conditions and enough rain bring them back into activity to start another lifecycle. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Heide Couch)
