#droughtresilience — Public Fediverse posts

In 1987, Kansas brought 30 bison back to Konza Prairie; 29 years later, native plant richness had risen 103% locally and 86% across catchments

Restoring grazing by native large herbivores such as bison can produce sustained increases in native plant diversity In…

Wildflower's Drought Comeback: A Glimpse of Rapid Evolution

California's scarlet monkeyflower quickly recovered from a bad drought by using existing genes. This shows how some plants can adapt to climate change.

This wildflower recovered from a severe drought by quickly changing its genes. This is faster than scientists expected and shows hope for plant survival in changing climates.

Saving water can be cheaper than building it. One analysis found ag conservation at ~$69.89/acre-foot vs >$2,000 for new supply—so funders now want telemetry-backed proof, not just pipes. https://agtech.industryexaminer.com/pipes-to-proof-irrigation-funding-telemetry-efficiency/

An early start to Solarpunk Sunday.
More tomorrow.
At the Meise Botanic Garden you can see wild banana varieties, some originally collected in Papua New Guinea, through the Crop Wild Relatives Project, used in pre-breeding research to help make cultivated bananas more tolerant to drought.
