In a world facing increasing threats from droughts and wildfires, botanists from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) argue that now is the time to identify the conditions that lead to plant extinction. Their findings, published in the Oxford Academic journal Conservation Physiology, propose a new strategy for plant conservation. By understanding the limits beyond which a plant's vital functions cease, scientists can develop more effective conservation plans.
