Really good overview of plansย to help Joshua trees survive climate change, on National Geographic, with some description of a project I'd only heard rumored, which might aaaaalmost count as what we call assisted migration

The desert is getting too hot for Joshua trees. Can we just โฆ move them?
To protect the southwestโs iconic Joshua trees, scientists are tinkering with their genetics and searching for climate havens inโand sometimes outside ofโtheir existing habitat.

๐ฅ RESEARCH ๐ฅ Shrub resprouting depends on pre-disturbance condition, with aridity, soil fertility & fire history as secondary drivers. Repeated disturbance reduces resprouting, & adult plants are more resilient under low water conditions - Zomer et al. ๐
