Drought Tolerance

Updated 07/11/2008

We are testing drought tolerance of plants and methods for revegetating arid lands.

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.
