Tropical Rainforests: Adaptations of Plants to Rainforests 🌳 GCSE Geography Learning & Revision
In this episode, we discuss plants' adaptations to rainforests.
Tropical rainforest plants exhibit specific evolutionary adaptations to thrive in their unique environment.
Buttress roots provide stability and nutrient absorption in shallow soils, though they create competition.
Waxy leaf coatings and pointed tips facilitate water runoff, preventing damage from heavy rainfall.
Smooth, thin bark also aids in shedding excess moisture.
To reach sunlight in the dense canopy, climbing vines ascend trees, and plants are adapted to the light conditions of different forest layers, typically retaining their leaves year-round as evergreens.
