P.I T4 4.3 SELECTION PLANTS- planting community

What is a native plant?

• A plant that is introduced to a region and requires special care

• A plant that occurs naturally in a specific region without human intervention

• A plant that is genetically modified for specific climates

• A plant that is imported for ornamental purposes

What defines a highland forest in tropical regions?

• Warm temperatures and high humidity

• Cooler temperatures and reduced oxygen levels

• Salt-tolerant vegetation

• High levels of urban pollution

Which characteristic is typical of lowland tropical forests?

• Sparse vegetation with high altitudes

• Dense canopy and high biodiversity

• Cold temperatures and arid conditions

• Limited plant diversity due to extreme temperatures

What is the primary adaptation of coastal plants?

• Ability to tolerate high temperatures

• Ability to withstand high salinity and salt spray

• Ability to grow in very cold temperatures

• Ability to thrive in dry, sandy soils

Which plant type is commonly found in tropical coastal areas?

• Alpine shrubs

• Mangroves

• Deciduous oak trees

• High-altitude ferns

What defines a wetland plant?

• Plants that require well-drained soils

• Plants adapted to grow in permanently or seasonally waterlogged conditions

• Plants that thrive in arid, desert environments

• Plants with deep, extensive root systems for dry climates

Which of the following is a common adaptation of wetland plants?

• Drought tolerance

• Ability to filter and purify water

• Tolerance to high salt concentrations

• Resistance to cold temperatures

What is a key characteristic of plants used in urban landscapes in tropical areas?

• They must be able to tolerate high levels of pollution and heat

• They need constant irrigation and low temperatures

• They are typically invasive species not suited for local environments

• They are designed solely for ornamental purposes without ecological benefits

Which plant adaptation is common in urban landscape plants in tropical climates?

• High water consumption

• Ability to grow in confined spaces and withstand urban stresses

• Requirement for frequent pest control

• High shade tolerance only

What is a key advantage of using native plants in landscaping?

• Require extensive watering

• Have high maintenance needs

• Adapt well to local climates

• Attract fewer pollinators
