I don't think it would take much to get plants growing in Hellas. The dust storms could be a problem, but if you could keep the basin wet I bet the dust would stick to the ground.

I wonder if there are any plants that would grow there now without too much modification?

Now the rest of the planet, that is another challenge.

How much terraforming would it take to get plants to grow in Hellas? - REB - 6/12/2007 9:03:35 PM
