Mesquite trees have several adaptations that enable them to thrive in arid environments. They feature deep taproots that access underground water sources, allowing them to survive prolonged droughts. Their small, compound leaves reduce water loss through transpiration, and they often have a thick, protective bark to minimize moisture evaporation. Additionally, mesquite trees can fix nitrogen in the soil, improving soil fertility and supporting surrounding plant life.
