14. Biome Plant Description Absence of trees; plants with thick leaves to withstand strong winds; extensive root system; seasonal plants Nonporous, extremely small or reduced leaves to minimize water loss; dormant during extreme temperature; fewer stomata, extended root systems Small, low growing; dark, hairy leaves to absorb heat; grow in clumps for greater protection from wind and cold; flowers often disk-shaped to collect sun Leaves with drip tips, climbing vines, smooth bark; buttress roots; dense canopy promotes intense plant competition 1 2 3
