Plant Adaptations in Different Biomes

Tropical Rainforest:

• Large fan-shaped leaves that are good at catching sun and water
• Buttress roots to support tall trees so they can reach sunlight
• Lianas spread up the tree to get the sunlight
• Drip tips to shed excess water after heavy rainfall
• Grow tall to reach the sun light

Coniferous Woodland:

• Thick bark to protect against the cold weather
• Flexible branches to help cope with heavy snowfall
• Pine cones to protect seeds
• Thin, waxy needles to reduce water loss
• Evergreen nature so they can photosynthesise all the time
• Dense to create warmth in winter

Desert:

• Long roots to trap water 
• Short life cycles - can remain dormant until the rain falls again
• Ability to be succulent - store water
