Drought Conditioning: Improving Environmental Resilience and Outplanting Success with Nursery-Grown Ponderosa Pine Seedlings

Rocky Mountain Research Stations
Science you can use:

This research reveals how drought conditioning in nursery-grown ponderosa pine seedlings can improve their survival rates in water-limited environments, enhancing their resilience against climate change. By simulating drought conditions in nurseries, seedlings develop vital physiological traits that boost their growth and ability to withstand dry conditions upon planting.
