What is the Desiccation Tolerance in Vascular Plants course about?

Field researchers struggle to translate lab-observed desiccation tolerance into scalable ecological models. Without standardized assessment frameworks, adaptation strategies remain fragmented and difficult to validate across regions. This gap delays funding approval, limits cross-institutional collaboration, and slows conservation deployment.
