Thorn forests are generally hot and receive less rainfall. Long roots can go deep into the soil looking for water and small leaves avoid dehydration of water
EXPLANATION:
- Thorn forests are typically found in dry areas such as hot or cold deserts. In these regions there is acute scarcity of water along with scorching heat. These regions receive rainfall less than 70 cm.
- These forests are located in semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Thorn forests, thus, must adapt themselves to these surroundings for which they need long roots and small leaves.
- Long roots, which penetrate deep into the soil, enabling them to collect water from several metres below the earth (underground water) so that the trees never remain without water. Small and thick leaves minimise evaporation .
