Desert Plants

The limited amount of rain and the extreme daily fluctuations in temperature make life in the desert very difficult for plants. Despite the challenges plants face in this biome, there are many different types of plants that grow in deserts. Common plant types that are found include cacti, succulents, small shrubs, and grasses.

To tolerate the conditions and increase chances for survival, desert plants have developed special adaptations. Some of the most common adaptations include storing water in the leaves or stems, having few leaves or waxy coverings on the leaves to reduce water loss, and having long tap roots that can penetrate the deep water table. Some plants even go dormant for over half the year and only grow when water becomes available.

One interesting plant that grows in the desert is the giant saguaro cactus. This cactus is unique because it has adapted so well to the desert conditions that it can grow to reach over 20 feet and live for more than 200 years. These cacti are able to survive for so long because of several well-developed adaptations. Giant saguaro cacti have shallow roots, which allow them to soak up rain and dew before it evaporates, and a spongy interior, which can expand to hold more water. They also save energy by growing slowly.

The mulga tree has a unique adaptation that enables it to grow in the desert biome. This tree has small leaves that grow upward and act as funnels when it rains. The water moves down the leaves and falls to the base of the tree, where it can be soaked up by the shallow root system. This adaptation helps the plant ensure that it will get as much water as possible when it rains.

Around 678 terrestrial plant species are currently known from the United Arab Emirates, many of which show adaptations to survive in extreme desert environments. As well as flowering plants, a number of ferns, bryophytes and mosses also occur, while the country’s marine plant life includes various seaweeds, sea grasses and aquatic micro algae.
