Vegetation

When i first hear the words , "natural vegetation", i was thinking, "hmmmm. it  must be some boring chapter about bushes and trees growing naturally " But, oh well, looks like theres more to that in natural vegetation!

NV-vegetation that has grown natually and not man-made.
Why is NV important to us?
- provides oxygen
-home to some animals
-medicinal properties of some trees
-makes Earth looks pretty ( thats what i think, but yeah :D )

in total, there are 7 types of NV.
1. tropical rainforest
2. temperate deciduous forests
3. temperate coniferous forets
4.tropical savannahs
5. temperate grasslands
6. hot deserts
7. cold tundras

Effect of W&C on NV
-temp: affects rate of vital processess ion plants
-rainfall: for survival/photosynthesis

* The NV will adapt to the climate by having necesary and different characteristics.

for example:
the NV in the tropical rainforest will have characteristics like:
-having waxy,drip-tip leaves
-braod surface
-hairy surface
-high density and biodiversity
-sparse undergrowth

whereas, the NV in a TDF:
-thin,delicate leaves
-broad leaves
-thicker and fuller canopy crowns during summer
-thick,rough barks
-shed leaves during autumn

the NV in TCF:
-cone-shaped crowns
-supple/flexible branches
-small,needle-like leaves
-evergreen
-thick barks
-shallow root systems
- hard leathery fruits

* adaptations are related to surviving
* adaptations are related to the changes in climate
