But, incredibly, we found the opposite \u2013 that in the most hostile and arid regions of the planet, plants exhibit the widest range of individual adaptation strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Drylands make up 45 percent of the Earth\u2019s terrestrial area and are home to a third of the world\u2019s human population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite this, species in these regions have been historically under-represented in scientific studies, with 90 percent of current knowledge of functional diversity in plants based on studies of agricultural ecosystems and temperate zones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Professor Wardle said: \u201cWith drylands threatened by increases in aridity, desertification and agricultural grazing, it&#8217;s important we understand how plants respond to these pressures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis research is an important development in our knowledge of plant adaptation and will help us as we look at the possible future evolution of these fragile ecosystems in the face of global challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new research from several leading institutions, including the University of Sydney, has shown that plants are more diverse in extreme climates.
