How are desert animals adapted
large surface area to volume ratio , efficent with water, thin layers, camoflauge
1 of 9
how are arctic animals adapted
small surface are to volume ratio, camoflauge, insulation
2 of 9
how are desert plants adapted
small surface area to volume, water storage tissues, maximising water absorption
3 of 9

6 of 9
What are indicator species
organisms that are sensitive to changes in their environment
7 of 9
What are non living indicators
