- Plant Adaptations
- Plants are adapted too
- Adaptations to hot and cold environments
- Northern pine forests
- Conditions
- For much of the winter the water in the soil
- Conditions
- Temperate forests
- Conditions
- Cold + not much light in winter; sunny +moist in summer
- Adaptations
- Leaves fall from trees in autumn-not much light for photosynthesis, leaves no function in winter
- Leaves larger surface area to make most of the summer sun
- Wax thinner on leaf surface as there is plentty of water in soil for most of year
- Leaves larger surface area to make most of the summer sun
- Leaves fall from trees in autumn-not much light for photosynthesis, leaves no function in winter
- Conditions
- Northern pine forests
- Adaptations to dry environments
- The acacia tree is common on African savannah, These trees areheavily grazed by animals such as giraffes. Adaptations: large thorns- discourage giraffes, thorns provide a home to colonies of stinging ants, leaves release poisonous chemical which giraffes dislike.
