Question

Explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations coniferous forest and tropical forest

Answer 1

The graph shows the temperature in the Coniferous Forest is in the negative and the precipitation is low. So, with this data, you can assume that the plants in the Coniferous Forest would need to adapt to this climate. This means the plants would need to adapt in order for them to grow and thrive. They would need an adaptation to assist with the little sunlight and water it's getting.

On to the Tropical Rain Forest graphs. The temperature is warm throughout the whole year and the precipitation levels are normally high for five to six months. This data can tell you that the plants are getting more than enough sunlight and water. In this type of climate, the plants are most likely lush and green because they are not lacking in the sun and water department, but the plants are having to adapt to too much water.

Answer 2

Tropical forest recieve large amounts of rain every year, about 60mm at least. Tropical forests also have no dry season. Plants that grow in this type of forest must adapt to the extremely wet conditions. For instance, trees in this type of forests grow long and thin trunks to reach the sunlight easier.

Coniferous forest typically have long winters and high precipitation levels. However, unlike Tropical rainforests, Coniferous forests have diverse seasons and no all year rainfall. It still rains a lot though. For example, trees in this forest grow relatively short and thick trunks to protect from the cold winters months.
