Explanation:
Features of plants in cold regions:
- Plants have evolved in other ways in locations where there is a lot of snow and cold weather all year, such as the Arctic.
- Deciduous plants cope with a lack of water by shedding their leaves, which evaporate water into the atmosphere.
- Most deciduous plants lose their leaves and go dormant during the chilly winter months.
- Evergreen plants preserve their foliage, but they have waxy coatings on their leaves and needles to prevent water loss.
- Trees may grow near to the ground or in shapes that make it easier for them to shed heavy snow.
- Plants in snowy climates have needle-like leaves, which reduce the surface area of the leaves and so conserve water.
- They also have a cone-shaped canopy to prevent snow from collecting on the stomata of the leaves.
