mycorrihzal associations
leading to
roots that are embedded deeper into the soil when the soil is of a lower quality; this allows plants in some cases to absorb the proper amount of nutrients
-
-
a symbiotic relationships begins to develop with the fungi that increases the nutrients absorbed from the soil by plants within this biome
-
cushion formation
leads to
low growth fom
is
the height of these plants is close to the ground to minimize wind exposure/damage to allow an increase heat retention
-
-
-
-
-
shallow root system
-
is
due to the permafrost layer within these types of biomes, it does not promote deep root growth; shallow and widely spread roots allow for the roots to absorb a sufficient amount of nutrients from an the most active layer of soil, which thaws out when the temperature rises
storage organs
promotes
absorption of nutrients, growth, and survival
-

-
-
heliotropism
is
when plants track the movements of the sun as it's moving across the sky to allows for the maximum levels of light absorption and promote seed development and pollination
-
hair-like covering
is
a peach fuzz/hair-like outer coat around the stem, leaves, and flowers to insulate as much heat as possible and providing protection from the wind
