Plants in certain rain forests require certain adaptation due to the amount of rainfall received and the seasonality of the rainfall.

For example rainforests in sub-tropical region receive seasonal rainfall, this means that when it rains (in the wet season) it pours, but there is also a "dry" season where it still rains, but much less. For this reason the plants have to be adapted to be able to survive in both conditions.

Equatorial rainforests receive pretty much constant rainfall throughout the year, so the plants are adapted for this

Which would be an adaptation in a rain forest but not a tundra?

In a rainforest, an adaptation such as large, broad leaves helps plants capture sunlight in the dense canopy and efficiently shed excess water. In contrast, tundra plants have adaptations like low growth forms and thick, waxy leaves to conserve heat and water in cold, dry conditions. These adaptations reflect the different environmental challenges faced in each biome.


What is the wheat plants adaptation?

Wheat plants have adaptations such as deep root systems to access water in dry conditions, rapid growth to compete with other plants for sunlight, and the ability to self-pollinate to ensure reproduction in varying environments.


Do Plants like cacti that live in the desert have less stoma than plants in the rain forest?

Yes, plants like cacti that live in the desert tend to have fewer stomata compared to plants in the rainforest. This adaptation helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as stomata are the primary sites for water vapor to exit the plant. The reduced number of stomata in desert plants helps them conserve water in dry environments.


Is there any leaf size and shape overall plants in the tundra?

Plants in the tundra typically have small and narrow leaves to minimize water loss and maximize sun exposure. This adaptation helps the plants survive in the cold and windy tundra environment.


What is the key innovation that helped seed-bearing plants radiate to high and dry environments?

One key innovation that helped seed-bearing plants radiate to high and dry environments is the development of seeds with protective coatings, allowing them to withstand harsh conditions. This adaptation enabled plants to disperse and germinate in diverse environments, increasing their chances of survival.

The key step in the adaptation of seed plants to dry land was the evolution of?

The key step was the development of seeds, allowing plants to reproduce without water for fertilization. This adaptation enabled seed plants to thrive in drier environments by protecting and nourishing the plant embryo.


How are deserts and rainforest different?

A desert and rainforest are different because a desert is really dry and a rainforest is so moist and wet. A desert has lot of sand and it there are cactuses all around and a rainforest has plants and trees.
