Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the survival of giant cacti in arid regions. It explores how they can absorb and store significant amounts of water and then release it as needed. The author meticulously measured cacti anatomy and water storage capacity, showing how they can increase in size by up… to a third when hydrated. Cacti cleverly expand and contract their trunks to adjust to varying water levels and can survive on a single rainfall for months. The author also considers the environmental factors, such as sun exposure and temperature, that influence the cacti's water balance. The book provides a fascinating account of plant adaptation and reveals the remarkable resilience of these desert dwellers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
