Plant Survival Literature Review

Project Overview

The study of plant survival has evolved from isolated observations of physiological limits to a complex, multidisciplinary field integrating genomics, soil microbiomes, and climate change models. With global warming exacerbating abiotic stresses—such as extreme temperatures, irregular precipitation, and prolonged droughts—understanding the mechanisms that dictate whether a plant thrives or succumbs is critical for agricultural sustainability, forest management, and ecological restoration.
