Sonoran Desert Field Trip: Plant Adaptations!
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to the Sonoran Desert! Today, we explore desert plants and their adaptations to the desert. From spines to water hoarding, accordion pleats to green sticks, we learn about the traits that have allowed desert plants to survive in a hot, dry environment.
There are three main categories of plant adaptations to the desert: drought avoidance, drought tolerance, and succulence. While we won't see any drought avoidant plants (we're currently in a drought, so they're, uh, avoiding it), there are lots of examples of the other two. Let's go meet some of my favorite plant friends and see how they manage to survive here. Bonus: learn to hug a cactus safely!

Keep putting passion in what you do...
This is Great!
IT IS INCREDIBLE EVERYTHING THAT DESERT ORGANISMS have had to adapt to survive in such an unsightly environment as the desert. Great video friend. Congratulations, greetings and blessings. You have a new friend.

Agree! And thank you so much, glad you liked the video!
Desert is easily my fav biome (huge competition) just for how extreme nature is willing to go to preserve itself. Cool vid!

Oh no! Great presentation, but I almost fell out of my chair! At 12:34 you did this side-wise bobble head movement so close to the plant that I thought your head was going to get porcupined by those thorns, or spines, or quills. Ouch! Be enthused, but be careful too! :>). Enjoyed and learned from the video, thanx.
Nice.🇵🇹🇧🇷
