adaptation in plants

Adaptation in Plants - Depending upon the quantity of water available in the habitat, plants undergo modification of their body structures so that they can suitably adapt themselves. Accordingly plants are classified into three groups: Xerophytes Hy..

These are plants adapted to grow in dry habitats. They are classified into three categories on the basis of their morphology and life - cycle patte..

Ecological Adaptations - Halophytes - The plants, which grow in saline habitats, are called Halophytes. There is high concentration of salts like sodium chloride, MgSO 4 etc. in these habitats. As the habitat is physiologically dry due to salts, the halophytes show characters si..

These are land plants which grow in moist habitats and need well aerated soils. They prefer soil and air with moderate humidity. They avoid soils with standing water and soils containing great abundance of salt..

The plants, which grow in saline habitats, are called Halophytes. There is high concentration of salts like sodium chloride, MgSO 4 etc. in these habitats. As the habitat is physiologically dry due to salts, the halophytes show characters similar to Xerophytes. In tropical and subtropical..
