I think the use of partisan is intentional. The connotation is that partisans are good guys, like the French in WW2. If they were the "bad guys" they'd be guerrilla forces or insurgents. I prefer partisan

Hi! Going to check out your link in a moment but first, a question off the top of my head.
There's a wide array of dry climates on earth. The American Southwest, Death Valley, the Sahara, Gobi desert, Patagonia, Karakum ect. Is there overlap between the plant mechanisms you study in these different environments, or do plants in hot/cold environments and different locations adapt in unique ways?
