What are the major physical constraints to the growth of vegetation in Kennedy Road? How does vegetation adapt to such physical constraints? Use photos to illustrate your answers.
Physical constraints Vegetation adaptation Photos
Heavy rainfall and high humidity in summer
Thick waxy and drip tip leaves to shed excess rain from leaves
Physical constraints
Vegetation adaptation
Photos
Heavy rainfallhigh humidity in summer
Shallow roots to take nutrients from top soil due to waterlogging
Physical constraints
Vegetation adaptation
Photos
Expose to heavy rain and wind
Buttress roots to provide mechanical support of tress against wind and weight
Physical constraints Vegetation adaptation
Photos
High density of vegetation -> competition of sunlight
Broad umbrella-shaped crown and high branches of emergent layer to catch sunlight
