Plant Adaptation
- Coastal redwoods only live at most about fifty miles inland from the Pacific Ocean because the coastal climate helps the trees survive.
- Fireweed is common in areas that have been burned or cleared, forest openings, and along roads.
- Epiphytes use photosynthesis to get energy, and take moisture from the air (rain, fog), roots grow mainly so that the epiphyte can attach to the other plant, usually a tree.
- Epiphytes are extremely common in temperate rainforests, they cover most trees.
