Document Summary
Animals are mobile so they don"t have to stay in the same place for a long time. Ex birds since they migrate they can avoid the climate at certain times of the year but plants have to tolerate it plants are easy to measure, quantify, observe plants are mobile, move, camouflage. Deciduousness leaves fall off at one time of year and grow back after. Succulence water storage, thick fat leaf ex cactus can see adaptation to its environemt forbs small herbatios plants arent woody. Ex hot wet environment vs hot dry environment. Indirect effects of temperature ex soil nutrients - soil temperature and water affects soil nutrient avaliablility. Nothing really cold and wet don"t really get environments like that. This figure does not really account for seasonality ex precipitation only in 6 months and dry for 6 months ex grasslands can exist in a larger area then this.
