PLANTS ADAPTATION
Adapting To Climate and Seasonal Changes
5
6
HOT WEATHER/DROUGHT SEASON/HOT CLIMATE
Plants also have special characteristics to adapt to climate and seasonal changes.
Weather that is too hot causes plants to lose a lot of water.
7
1. HAVING LONG ROOTS
The roots of cactus that grow long into the soil enable it to absorb water deep in the soil in a dry area.
Example : Cactus plants
8
2. TRUNK/STEM STORES WATER
The trunk/stem of cactus and banana can store water and enable it to survive even in the drought season or in extremely hot weather.
Examples : cactus, banana plant and aloe vera
9
3. FOLD ITS LEAVES
The turmeric plant will fold its leaves during hot weather to reduce the loss of water.
Examples : turmeric plant, yam plant, banana plant and maize plant
10
SHED ITS LEAVES
Some plants will shed its leaves during drought season or hot weather to prevent loss of excessive water
Examples : rubber tree, acacia tree and maple tree
11
NEEDLE-SHAPED LEAVES
Some trees have tiny needle-shaped leaves to reduce loss of water during hot day or drought season.
Examples : casaurina tree, cactus

PINNATE LEAVES/DIVIDED LEAVES
Coconut tree has pinnate leaves to reduce wind resistance and prevent it from collapsing when blown by strong wind.
26
FLEXIBLE STEM
Wind-resistant plants have flexible stems, which allow them to bend and sway without breaking.
For instance, palms and crepe myrtles are good wind-resistant plants
27
NEEDLE-LIKE LEAVES
Plants that are adapted to windy conditions usually have small, narrow leaves as well.
Such as needle-leaved conifers, spruce, fir and pine
28
ROOTS SYSTEM
The root system of the plant provides physical support by anchoring the plant body to the soil. Many plants can stand erect for hundreds of years because their roots grow deep into the soil and hold the plants strongly in place.
Mangroves have prop roots descending from the trunk and branches, providing a stable support system.
Buttress roots are large and can prevent the tree from falling over due to strong winds.

COLD WEATHER
1. NEEDLE-LIKED LEAVES
Conifers, pines, and firs tend to grow in areas where snow falls, The needle-liked leaves have adapted to reduce damage from the accumulation of snow. Because the needle-liked leaves are narrow, it's difficult for snow to remain on the leaves, and it falls to the ground.
Examples: conifer leaves, pine leaves, fir leaves, spruce leaves
35
2. THICK BARK
The tree’s bark acts as its first line of defense against the cold.
Thick bark covering the trunks of trees prevents the absorbed water from freezing in an extremely cold climate.
