Lichens are one of the first organisms to colonise a newly disturbed area and are a part of the first stage in plant succession.

Like mosses lichens have a number of adaptations which allow them to survive seemingly nutrient free habitats.

Lichens, unlike vascular plants can grow with very little nutrients. There are enough nutrients carried in rain water and dust to allow lichens to grow on rock faces etc.

What is animal adaptation?

All animals live in habitats. Habitats provide food, water, and shelter which animals need to survive, but there is more to survival than just the habitat. Animals also depend on their physical features to help them obtain food, keep safe, build homes, withstand weather, and attract mates. These physical features are called called physical adaptations. Physical adaptations do not develop during an animal's life but over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the number of fingers, color of the fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals to survive.


How do you know that coral are under stress in their habitats?

You would know if coral is under physical stress if it is bleached. Coral bleaching occurs when the coral polyps (the miniscule animals that coral is made of) expel their algal cells, and the coral looks white. If the coral stays bleached for too long, then it can die.


What are the physical adaptations of a jaguar?

Jaguars possess several physical adaptations that enhance their survival as apex predators. Their powerful, stocky bodies and strong limbs allow them to climb trees and swim efficiently. The distinctive rosette-patterned coat provides excellent camouflage in their forest and riverine habitats. Additionally, their strong jaws and sharp teeth enable them to deliver a lethal bite, often piercing the shells of armored prey like turtles.

What is an example of physical decomposition in nature?

An example of physical decomposition in nature is the weathering of rocks. Over time, factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes cause rocks to break down into smaller particles without altering their chemical composition. This process contributes to soil formation and the cycling of nutrients in ecosystems. Physical decomposition is crucial for landscape changes and the creation of habitats for various organisms.
