DESSERT CACTUS; DO YOU NEED NURSED PLANTS TO BRING ABOUT CONTINUED EXISTENCE? 2 Dessert Cactus; Do You Need Nursed Plants to Bring About Continued Existence? Abstract. This experiment was carried out on the basis of the plants caring for arid cactus. My investigation was aimed at determining if seedling cacti utilized the shades of other plants in the arid in attempt to shelter themselves against the hostile climate, to improve their growth. It became obvious that the cactus actually used the shelter of other vegetation to live in the desert. Practical field investigation were the study methodologies adopted. I strolled in a horizontal line in my experiment, out into the desert, counting each saguaro and barrel cactus below 3 inches. I also had a triangle-blade bursage to prove that it is just a cactus adaptation. Among noteworthy findings I got comprised 100 of the 144 saguaro cactus, 127 of the 189 barrel cacti that I discovered were linked to a nurse vegetation, and only 179 of the 583 leaves bursage that I discovered were linked. In essence, the investigation enabled my caring plant idea to be firmly supported and at the same point seeing that this phenomena occurs in cactus and not all dessert vegetation. Introduction. I focused my research on two different varieties of cacti, barrels cactus identified scientifically as Ferocactus wislizenii , and saguaros cactus, recognized scientifically as Carnegiea gigantea . The

DESSERT CACTUS; DO YOU NEED NURSED PLANTS TO BRING ABOUT CONTINUED EXISTENCE? 3 experiment aimed to establish if immature cacti were or were not using other vegetation for nursing purposes. This implies that cacti flourish better beneath the shelter of other vegetation of the desert, which explains why I discovered under these plants more cacti than projected. I hypothesized that the juvenile cacti used other taller vegetation to shield themselves from the scorching desert sun, enabling the cacti plants to have a greater chance of survival. If my concept was accurate, I projected that i would locate more juvenile cacti below taller nursing plant species than I would anticipate if everything was random. This prediction does not indicate that more juvenile cactus had to be connected with nursing plants than would be imagined to validate my theory; rather, it means that more than would be predicted had to be related.
