Drought-Adapted Plant Species
Drought-Adapted Plant Species
Drought-adapted plant species are those that have evolved to survive and thrive in environments with limited water availability. These plants possess specialized traits, such as deep root systems, thick leaves, or the ability to store water, which allow them to endure periods of drought. Research in this area aims to identify and develop crops that can grow in arid conditions without requiring excessive irrigation. These drought-tolerant plants are particularly valuable in regions experiencing water scarcity or changing climatic conditions. By incorporating these species into agricultural and horticultural systems, farmers can ensure stable food production despite unpredictable weather patterns and prolonged dry spells.
