cactus
A cactus.
I do know ones that are able to survive in harsh climates and feed off of bugs for their nutrients are called Carnivorous.
The plant survives because it stores the rainfall and uses little amounts so it can stay alive.
The answer depends on the amount of rainfall the particular desert receives. The Atacama Desert receives very little rainfall so has little plant life. On the other hand, the Sonoran Desert receives more rainfall and has much more plant life.
Little vegetation refers to an area with sparse plant growth, usually characterized by a lack of plant diversity and limited plant cover. This can be due to factors such as low rainfall, extreme temperatures, poor soil quality, or human activities like deforestation or overgrazing.
plant more vegetation
Temperate, with decent rainfall, moderate temperatures. Excessive heat can cause the plant to "bolt", or go to seed early.
They are not similar. A desert is a region of the world that receives little rainfall. A shrub is a plant.
Developing longer roots to reach deeper water sources would likely help a plant adapt to living in an area with little rainfall. This change allows the plant to access water more effectively and survive in a dry environment.
A tropical rainforest biome typically experiences high rainfall, high temperatures, and poor soil quality. The constant rainfall helps to compensate for the nutrient-poor soil by continuously cycling nutrients within the ecosystem, supporting the diverse plant and animal life found in these regions.
Areas with short vegetation, such as grasslands or tundra, typically experience a range of temperatures that can vary significantly between seasons. These regions often have lower average temperatures compared to areas with dense forests, particularly in higher latitudes. Precipitation is usually moderate, with many short vegetation areas receiving less rainfall than forested regions, which can lead to dry spells and a reliance on seasonal moisture. Overall, the climate in these areas tends to support the growth of resilient, drought-tolerant plant species.
Areas with lots of rain and moderate to high temperatures are heavily forested. Areas with less rain are mainly grassland. Areas with very little rain are typically deserts or arid and at the extreme of the temperature scale. Warm, moist areas have more plant diversity than cold or hot dry areas.
