Plant Adaptation Under Climate Stress

Recent work shows plants can evolve quickly across climate gradients, but extreme heat and drought still push some populations to extinction.

Related research highlights stress memory, epigenetic inheritance, and Arctic species adapting or hybridizing as warming reshapes habitats.

The story now emphasizes a broader biological response frame: beyond rapid plant adaptation, it adds stress memory/epigenetic inheritance and explicitly includes Arctic species hybridization as part of climate-driven change. The underlying conclusion is still the same, but the framing is slightly more unified around how organisms respond at the extremes.
