Can you compare the plants that live in the desert with the plants that live in the tundra?
All desert plants have adaptations for obtaining and conserving water, which allows the plants to live in dry, desert conditions. Plants called succulents, such as cactuses, have thick, fleshy stems and leaves that store water. Mosses and lichens cover vast areas of rocks in the tundra. The soil is thin, so plants have wide, shallow roots to help anchor themagainst the icy winds. Most flowering plants of the tundra, such as campion and gentian, are short. ChaCha On!
