Xerophyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A xerophyte describes a plant that has structural (xeromorphic) and physiological adaptations which enable them to survive, or even thrive, in areas with very little free moisture. Xerophytes occur in all kind of environments, not simply those which immediately appear free of water such as deserts.

Desert Plant Survival - DesertUSA Xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. Xerophytes, plants that have altered their physical structure to survive extreme heat and lack of water, are the largest group of such plants living in the deserts of the American Southwest. Cactus, xerophytic adaptations of the rose family, are among the most drought-resistant plants on the planet due to their absence of leaves, shallow root systems, ability to store water in their stems, spines for shade and waxy skin to seal in moisture. www.desertusa.com /du_plantsurv.html   (1324 words)

xerophyte | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon A xerophyte or xerophytic organism (xero meaning dry, phyte meaning plant) is a plant, which is able to survive in an ecosystem with little available water or moisture, usually in environments where potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for all or part of the growing season. Plants like the cactus and other succulents are typically found in deserts where low rainfall amounts are the norm, but xerophytes such as the bromeliads can also be found in moist habitats such as tropical forests, exploiting niches where water supplies are limited or too intermittent for mesophytic plants. Plants that live under arctic conditions may also have a need for xerophytic adaptations, as water is unavailable for uptake when the ground is frozen. www.babylon.com /definition/xerophyte/English   (158 words)

Flowering Plant Diversity They often have thick cuticles, reduced surface/volume ratios and shallow roots, store water in their leaves or stems and open their stomata only at night. Several plant families are xerophytic, the cacti exclusively so. Such plants are often fleshy and succulent (to dilute the salt they invariably take up) and often have salt glands on the leaf surface to pump salt out of the plant. scitec.uwichill.edu.bb /bcs/bl14apl/flow2.htm   (1044 words)
