Drought is impacting the plants that are growing around Moab and the Colorado Plateau. Here we talk to Alix Pfennigwerth, a former biologist with the US Geological Survey in Moab. We talk about different types of droughts that are expected to impact the plant communities we see on the Colorado Plateau. We explore how experiments provide insight into plant response to future drought due to climate change and what that might mean for the ecosystems and how we manage them into the future.
