Key Points

To investigate how wildflower populations recover from extreme drought and the role of evolution in this process.
Field observations of wildflower populations before and after drought events.
Analysis of genetic diversity to assess evolutionary adaptability.
Monitoring growth rates and reproduction in recovered populations.
Wildflower populations exhibited significant recovery after drought conditions.
Increased genetic diversity correlated with resilience to drought effects.
Certain traits were favored, indicating adaptive evolution during recovery.
