By focusing on fine-grained spatial variation in northern New Mexico using a field common garden study, this research enhances our understanding of physiology and genetics of drought adaptation in ponderosa pine that can be incorporated into reforestation and assisted migration programs.

Learning Objectives:

describe current issues relating to reforestation in the southwestern United States.
conceptualize challenges to PIPO forest types both nationally and within the southwestern United States.
ascertain reasoning behind seed choice for reforestation processes.
