drought resistance

Drought resistance refers to the ability of plants, crops, or ecosystems to survive and thrive despite limited water availability. This can involve various traits such as deep root systems, efficient water use, or the ability to store moisture. Drought-resistant plants can adapt to dry conditions, making them crucial for agriculture in arid regions. Improved drought resistance helps ensure food security, supports biodiversity, and promotes sustainability. As climate change increases the frequency of droughts, understanding and enhancing drought resistance becomes increasingly important for both natural environments and farming practices.
