Adaptations of Savanna vegetation. Savanna vegetation must adapt to survive. Many problems must be overcome‚ such as lack of water‚ very seasonal rainfall‚ poor soil quality‚ grazing animals‚ very high temperatures and fire. 1. Define the following terms: Xerophytic = A plant adapted to living in a dry arid habitat; a desert plant Pyrophytic = plants adapted to tolerate fire Deciduous = Loss of leaves seasonally Perennial = lives more than 2 years Dormant = A condition of significantly

The freshwater biome | A lake at Acadia National Park‚ Maine. | Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration — usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e.‚ ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions: * Ponds and lakes * Streams and rivers * WetlandsPonds and lakes These regions range in size from just a few square meters to thousands

Did you know that the biosphere II is a 7.2 million cubic foot greenhouse? The Biosphere II was made to be a mini- world‚ which was meant to mimic Biosphere I‚ The Earth. The Biosphere II has 7 different biomes including‚ and ocean‚ a desert‚ a savannah‚ a marsh‚ and a tropical rainforest. The biosphere II was originally made for 8 scientists to endure locked inside the Biosphere for two years‚ without any supplies! The plan looked perfect‚ but like everything in life problems quickly appeared

The Rainforest supports a largest number and greatly diverse variety of animals. Many plants and animals in the rainforest must adapt to survive the warm temperatures and a large amount of constant rainfall year around. Plants are important for the rain forest because they enable the survival of many other species. In fact‚ since plants must reach the sunlit areas they must adapt and wrap around trees in order to take nutrients and collect water when it rains. These plants also give rise to animals
