Yahoo News published an article a few days ago on the importance of research on identifying new plants and seeds when dealing with land changes like droughts, forest fires, and changes in local climate.  Restoration of the land will provide a home for native species and can also provide food for livestock.

In the article they pointed out that “Climate is more important than geography when predicting how well seeds will grow and establish themselves. Seeds don’t care where their parents lived if the temperature suits them and if they get the right amount of sunshine and precipitation.” To read this article on work in the US Forest Service, click here.
