#wind adaptation
- Anemophyte — A plant structurally and physiologically adapted to grow and thrive in habitats constantly exposed to strong winds or intense air currents. This type of organism (frequently found in high alpine, coastal, or tundra zones) exhibits precise morphological adaptations, such as a low stature, a cushion-like (pulvinate) growth form, highly flexible stems, and leathery or villous leaves to withstand mechanical stress and wind-induced dehydration.
