Xerophytic Adaptations
Stomata sunk in pits
- traps moist air, reducing evaporation
Curled leaves with stomat inside
- protects them from the wind
The epidermis has a layer of hairs
- trap moist air around the stomata, reducing the concentarion gradient of water
A reduced number of stomata
- so there are fewer places for water to escape
Waxy, waterproof cuticles on leaves and stems
- this reduces evaporation
