Many of today's environmental challenges can be reduced through
the use of plants. Plant Materials Centers across the
country are testing drought tolerance of
plants and methods for revegetating arid lands. The Plant Materials Program focuses on using plants as a
natural way to solve conservation issues and re-establish
ecosystem function. We offer plant solutions to battle
invasive species, heal lands damaged by natural disasters,
reduce the effects of drought, promote air and water quality and
produce alternative energy. |
