Plants on Mount Everest adapt to varying altitudes through several strategies. At lower elevations, where conditions are more favorable, species like rhododendrons thrive, benefiting from greater sunlight and moisture. As altitude increases, plants such as mosses and lichens dominate, exhibiting adaptations like small size, thick cuticles, and deep root systems to withstand harsh winds, extreme temperatures, and low oxygen levels. These adaptations enable them to survive in the harsh alpine environment where growth conditions are challenging.
