Plant Adaptations to Climate Change
Plants have many different adaptations to thrive in their individual environment and cope with their changing environment.

Surviving the cold
Adaptations of plants are different depending on the place or habitat in which they live. This is because different habitats have different features and different seasonal changes.
Trees must have adaptations to survive the cold and drying conditions of winter. Trees cannot change their location or behavior like animals can, so they must rely on physiological and structural adaptations.
here are four basic strategies that trees employ:
1. Either leaf drop or adaptations for leaf retention.
2. A physiological acclimation process.
3. Resolution of water issues.
4. Methods of reducing mechanical damage.
