Plants that need ample water and those without adaptations would not thrive in dry forests.

To survive in a dry forests, plants must have the adaptation of deciduousness, dropping its leaves once the rains end, which halts photosynthesis which produces water losses which causes the plant not to survive in the dry season. Some plants have other adaptations, such as green bark, which allows photosynthesis to continue even when the leaves have been dropped, and others have water storage tissues that allow them to survive during the dry season by drawing on the stored water. Others have an extra, waxy layer on their leaves that slows water evaporation, and others close their leaves at night which slows water loss.

What kind of place do tropical dry forests grow?

Tropical dry forests grow in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons, typically found in areas with a tropical climate at low latitudes. They thrive in places that receive seasonal rainfall, with drier conditions during certain times of the year. Examples of regions where tropical dry forests can be found include parts of Africa, South and Central America, and Asia.

What is 3 plants that share the mongooses habitat?

Mongooses typically inhabit savannas, grasslands, and scrub forests, where they share their environment with various plant species. Three plants that often coexist with mongooses include acacia trees, which provide shade and food, grasses that offer ground cover, and succulents like aloes that thrive in dry conditions. These plants contribute to the ecosystem by providing shelter and resources for other wildlife as well.


Why do rainforest plants need a dry adaptation?

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


How are cacti such perfect desert plants?

Cacti are perfect desert plants because they thrive in dry climates. They receive their light from the sun through their stem. They don't have leaves so they conserve water.


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 plant has a lower water potential?

Plants in dry environments or desert plants typically have a lower water potential due to the high levels of solute concentrations in their cells. These plants have adapted to conserve water and thrive in arid conditions.
