We studied the responses of a range of native and introduced perennial grass species to drought. All species showed good drought resistance, and the varied responses were interpreted in the context of the dominant strategy utilised by each species: tissue dehydration avoidance or dehydration tolerance. We conclude that species with the dehydration tolerance strategy such as Eragrostis curvula, Themeda australis and Austrodanthonia racemosa will be the most drought resistant.

Abstract
We studied the responses of a range of native and introduced perennial grass species to drought. All species showed good drought resistance, and the varied responses were interpreted in the context of the dominant strategy utilised by each species: tissue dehydration avoidance or dehydration tolerance. We conclude that species with the dehydration tolerance strategy such as Eragrostis curvula, Themeda australis and Austrodanthonia racemosa will be the most drought resistant.File in questo prodotto:
