What else can I help you with?
Does the stomata close during drought?
Yes, during a drought, plants close their stomata to conserve water and prevent excessive water loss through transpiration. This helps the plant maintain its hydration levels and survive the dry conditions.
If there are drought conditions why might a plant produce seeds rather then grow new plantlets?
Because new plants (plantlets) would require water immediately to survive, where as seed can lie dormant until it rains (the drought is broken) and the seed can germinate and form new plants. It's a matter of conserving resources.
Which plants store food in their stem?
Plants that store food in their stems include succulents like cacti and desert plants, as well as tuberous plants like potatoes and sweet potatoes. These plants store energy in their stems to use during times of drought or when growing conditions are not favorable.
What plants and animals live during droughts?
During droughts, plants like succulents, cacti, and desert shrubs are able to survive with minimal water sources. Animals that can adapt to drought conditions include camels, kangaroo rats, and desert tortoises. These species have evolved mechanisms to conserve water and thrive in arid environments.
What plants that can be planted during dry seasons?
Plants that can tolerate dry conditions include succulents like cacti and aloe vera, as well as drought-resistant perennials such as lavender, rosemary, and sage. These plants have adaptations that help them thrive in arid environments by storing water or having deep root systems to access water deep in the soil.
What happens to crops if there are no rains?
During drought plants will wither (or dry out)
Why do plants droop during a drought but become firm after a rain?
Because water makes the plants firm.
Does the stomata close during drought?
Yes, during a drought, plants close their stomata to conserve water and prevent excessive water loss through transpiration. This helps the plant maintain its hydration levels and survive the dry conditions.
How do shrub fertilizers extend plants life during drought?
when theres a drought, plants are stripped from the key nutrients that are essential to keep them alive. When given fertilizers, however, they are provided with the nutrients and have a longer life span, even in drought...if its not too late.
Why do people water plants?
To save plants from drought
Do fertilizers extend plant life during drought?
Fertilizers should not be applied during drought as this will lead to burning of the roots. The plants to be fed should be watered copiously well before fertilizer is applied an watering continued afterwards.
Why are there so few drought tolerant plants?
There are actually tons of drought tolerant plants - you just need to look harder.
What part of a plant is missing from desert plant?
Most desert plants have the same parts as plants from areas with more rainfall. Some, such as cacti, have lost their leaves and replaced them with spines. Some plants grow leaves during rainy seasons and then shed them during periods of drought. They may do this several times each year. Other plants allow their leaves to shrivel during drought and then spring back to life after a good rain.
If their is no rain?
The plants will die and there will be a drought :) :> :} :]
Why do some desert plants lose their leaves during drought conditions?
so that they have a smaller surface area to lose water from
Does plants that have taproots survive better than a fibrous root plant in a drought?
Plants with taproots typically have an advantage in drought conditions as taproots penetrate deep into the soil to access water sources that fibrous roots cannot reach. This allows taproot plants to better withstand drought by having access to water stored deep in the ground.
Why are succulent plants found in a desert?
Succulents, such as cacti, are able to store water in their leaves and/or stems during times of rainfall that can keep them alive during drought.
