Many Australian desert plants have evolved unique adaptations to survive in harsh conditions. For example, the spinifex grass has deep roots to access underground water, while its tough, spiky leaves reduce water loss. The kangaroo paw features a waxy coating to minimize evaporation, and some plants, like the saltbush, can store salt to manage high salinity levels in the soil. These adaptations enable them to thrive in extreme temperatures and limited water availability.

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
Plants in a desert ecosystem are likely to have adaptations to conserve water, such as thick waxy coatings or small leaves, while plants in a rainforest ecosystem will have adaptations for high moisture levels, like broad leaves or aerial roots. Desert plants also often have deeper root systems to reach water sources underground, whereas rainforest plants may rely more on shallow roots to access nutrients in the topsoil.
What are some adaptations of coastal desert plants that allow them to thrive in their harsh environment?
