Answer:
Life as a plant in the dune fields of White Sands is really rough. Plants must be able to withstand the climatic conditions of the Chihuahuan Desert, adapt to a constantly shifting landscape, and must be successful in finding sources of water and nutrients, which can be very difficult in the sterile, gypsum sand. As a result of these harsh living conditions, only a few plants can call the White Sands gypsum dunefield home. These plants have adapted to their environment and developed special survival strategies in order to thrive in this glistening landscape.
HOLD ON
Hold on is what a few plants do in order to survive in the ever-shifting sands. Shrubs and trees survive by “holding on”, using their compacted root structure. Their roots tap all the way down into the water table and absorb water. When the root system transports the ground water, some of the water gets absorbed into the surrounding sand. This process forms a hard mound, called a pedestal. The pedestal encases the root structure and stabilizes the plant. When the dune has moved on, we can see the pedestals that were left behind.
Examples of plants that employee the hold on method of survival include the Skunkbush Sumac (Rhus trilobata) and Hoary Rosemary Mint (Poliomintha incan).
How do nature animals survive
The answer is adaptations. An adaptation is a characteristic that helps an animal survive in its habitat. All animal must be able to obtain food and water, protect themselves from harm, withstand the climate, and reproduce young so the species doesn't become extinct.
How do nature cells survive
Cells may be self-sustaining units of life, but they don't live in isolation. Their survival depends on receiving and processing information from the outside environment, whether that information pertains to the availability of nutrients, changes in temperature, or variations in light levels.
To survive every cell must have a constant supply of vital substances such as sugar, minerals, and oxygen, and dispose of waste products, all carried back and forth by the blood cells. Without these substances, cell would die in a very short period of time. ... But all cells will eventually die
i know it's alot but i hope it helps
