摘要：Adopting drought tolerant plants (DTPs) to conserve water is a potential adaptation to thepredicted effects of climate change in the Midwest. Survey responses from 624 Missourihouseholds were analyzed using a univariate probit model. DTP adoption was positively correlatedwith both low and high household incomes, living in rural subdivisions, time spent gardening, proenvironmentattitudes, and concerns about drought. Policy interventions in newly drought-proneareas might include subsidizing the up-front cost of DTPs, requiring their use in new housingdevelopments so DTPs are the default for buyers, and targeted educational efforts to environmentaland gardening groups and rural residents.
