they can fix carbon at the lower CO2 concentrations that develop when the stomata are closed
Slow growth,which conserves food,energy,and water,is another adaptation of desert plants
Yes They Do. This is because the plants in desert plants need to retain as much moisture as possible. The plants in the forest don't because its moist enough. So the plants in the forest have more stomata then plants in the desert.
Limiting factor
Plants can be found as water plants, and unable to survive being dried out. Plants can be found ranging through temperate climes, to the succulents and cacti plants found thriving in arid desert conditions.
A plant in the desert has a larger vacoule than the plant in the rain forest because in the desert plants have to store their own food and water. But it helps them survive for a long time.
The cactus wren
Plants that grow in arid conditions are called xerophytes. They have adapted to live with little water.
Succulents are plants that are able to store water in their leaves or stems which is a good adaptation to have for plants that live in an arid environment. No all desert plants are succulents, however.
The most commonly seen plants in the Chihuahuan Desert are mesquite, creosote bush, yuccas, ocotillo and opuntia cacti.
Due to conditions of desert
Cacti, pineapples, agaves, and geraniums are some plants that are adapted to hot, dry conditions. They would all survive well in the desert.
The only true ice desert is Antarctica and no plants grow there except for a few nonvascular plants that survive along the coast where there is no ice and somewhat milder conditions.

Slow growth,which conserves food,energy,and water,is another adaptation of desert plants
Some of the most commonly seen and prominent plants in the Chihuahuan Desert are mesquite, creosote bush, yuccas and ocotillos.
The deserts are usually sparsely populated because its conditions does not support the growth of plants. It is therefore difficult to sustain life in a desert because of the little amount of water.
Not really. There are weird plants, but the majority are commonly known plants and shrubs like palm trees, oaks and pines; desert plants include creosotes and cactus.
