Traits that help trees live for hundreds of years also foster forest life, one reason why old growth forest conservation is crucial.

Some invasive plants can form persistent banks of seeds that remain under the soil for years, and this makes their eradication practically impossible.

Humans can help contribute to the problems of invasive plant colonization in the Mediterranean ecosystems. The said plants can quickly spread and affect native species. Read here.

Invasive plants persistent seed banks defy eradication, posing long-term threat to natural ecosystems.

<p>Some invasive plants can form persistent banks of seeds that remain under the soil for years, and this makes their eradication practically impossible. Over time, this invisible population of large quantities of living, buried plants — in seed form —, will reoccupy ecosystems and displace the typical flora of the natural environment.</p>

As climate change progresses, drought are becoming more intense and disrupting plant physiology according to a study

Droughts, one of the variables that impact plant physiology, are becoming more severe in all plant ecosystems around the world because of climate change.
