This showed that the biology of trees in the wild can't necessarily be used to predict their behaviour in an urban environment. Read more: Landscaping for drought: we're doing it wrong. (January 2023)Goodbye, Tulip TreesFraser Coast Regional Council's African tulip tree eradication program ...
Raising the water productivity of crops, such that they yield more with less water, is one route to raising food production over the coming century. To achieve this goal, breeders must look beyond the conservative strategies that plants employ to cope with drought in the wild. ...
bCategories highly enriched in the leaf: genes for signal transduction and for drought and immune stress response. cCategories highly enriched in both the leaf and flower: transcription factors for leaf development, DNA replication, RNA splicing, flowering time, ground tissue development, starch ...
“The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be usedin precision agriculture(精准农业)," said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.Khait's report also suggested that insects and mammals can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away and respond. For example, amoth...

brief description: This chaparral shrub is drought tolerant with thick and small leaves. It serves to provide food and shelter for wildlife. potential hazards: Plants in the same family are typically poisonous so you want to be sure you are not touching something such as poison oak and you ar...
Desert-dwellers store water in their fleshy leaves, making them drought-tolerant and easy to grow in a warm, dry environment. Their unusual and varied colors and textures make them beautiful accents. Display a few together to show off their dramatic shapes. ...

For winter crops, the effect of predicted prolonged summer drought periods and heat weaves for the next decades may be smoothed or prevented due to the faster development that will allow escaping these and then avoiding reduction in final yields. In contrast, crops, whose growing cycle takes ...
