The goal of eX Virentia (eXVi) is to use existing unmodified vegetation as a sensor to identify activities of DoD interest by utilizing natural plant responses to man-made chemical exposures.
The eXVi program will bring together plant biologists with remote sensing and modeling experts to develop and execute a fundamental research program.
This research will uncover the internal biochemical response of plant species to chemical exposure, and how they relate to external observable characteristics.
