Each environment has a particular name that expresses the nature of their ecological succession: Primary and Secondary

Biology essay: describe the adaptations shown by xerophytes to reduce water loss A Xerophyte is a type of plant that is well adapted to water. Water loss is something that is very bad for the plants if the ratio of water lost to water taken in is too drastic. The cells may lose their turgidity and may even submit to plasmolysis‚ which will result in the plant wilting and eventually dying. Water loss via transpiration (loss of water vapour from the aerial parts of a plant due to evaporation) is

summers there is low concentration of CO2 due to high photosynthesis (more plants are alive in the summers because of the heat). The opposite takes place in the winters when there is higher concentration due to low photosynthesis since most of the deciduous plants die due to cold temperature. Rising levels of carbon dioxide comes from measurements of air samples (balloons are sent). The observatory is in an ideal position as a sampling point for atmospheric gases because it is in the middle of the
