On the whole planet earth there is diversity of plant species, but it is key to pay attention to the individual needs of each one of them because the Plants, like human beings, need special care because some require abundant irrigation but there are others that not because if it is in excess they die. The role of this research is that human beings avoid mistakes due to ignorance of the techniques and care for these species that can be used in the future and if they would not be completely extinguished.
There is a great variety of plant species and their genes, which are fundamental to our needs. So we must conserve, to ensure that the plant resources of tomorrow are not destroyed, proper irrigation techniques, appropriate irrigation hours must be managed with care and attention, be selective with water, because many of the activities we do They are not correct for their survival.
For all lovers of plants and nature, it is very important to know the plant and its needs, since in the study of them, several procedures that are necessary to take into account are known, so that you always have a better countenance in view of all, such as: irrigation, use of adequate water for their growth, because there have been many cases in which plants do not water properly, it will be observed that they eventually wilt , suffer continuous falls of the leaves, there are cases that due to excess, will present problems in the roots because they can get damaged.
As a consequence, if the plant is not in optimal conditions, it causes problems that can lead to plants having difficulties with growth, flowering, color, roots and can even lead to death. There are different causes that lead to the plants withering and it is not precisely because of the risk, also the excess of a plant exposed to the sun's rays or excess of luminosity can lead it to the yellowish color. It is also because it can happen in that it is plants of shadows, and according to their characteristics the care, the irrigation will be totally different because it needs environments protected from light.
Human beings do not think that excess water in plants can cause various problems. If we start by describing the water that comes out of the taps in the houses, because the white color is observed as milk, and that is that it is too loaded with chlorine as part of the treatment given to these waters that are for human consumption . According to studies conducted on plant species, the importance of the type of water that is used for irrigation has been determined, because there are kinds of water that turn out to be contaminated, and instead of helping people with proper care for What he does is damage them.
Likewise, irrigation with rainwater is the most appropriate, there are also disadvantages because if it is located in contaminated sites these waters end up making the plants sick. Today, on the planet earth, the vegetable kingdom is made up of more than 25,000 thousand species, there are types such as conifers better known as seed plants, there are also plants with spores and those with flowers, these plants have evolved with the time and have been adapting to their surroundings, since the weather is another factor that has always disturbed the plant life, but with all that unusual methods of survival have emerged to face extreme climatic changes.
Life is not easy for plants that have to live in environments where they suffer various disturbances, since many of the plants that are in the water can bloom and reproduce sexually, most have discrete flowers and depend on wind or water to Pollination In this environment there are variations in the level of water, pollution by humans who are not aware of the damage they cause both to the ecosystem and to the plants and animals that make them up.
Some freshwater species float freely on the surface and have roots that do not fix it but it is to acquire nutrients from the water, while other plants part of their growth is submerged in water such as freshwater plants such as rivers and lakes , which live in different depths, waiting for the light that they need for photosynthesis to arrive. There is another species that is known as parasitic plants that have special roots capable of adhering, pierce the roots or stem of other plants, and through it absorb sugars, water, and mineral salts for persistence.
In the wide range of plant life there are some that have special roots or hairs to get water, a vital liquid to be able to live, in the specific case of tropical orchids that can germinate, live all their lives in trees, because they produce their food itself also absorb water from the air vapor through hanging roots. However, these beautiful species have the way to defend themselves against dangers, and to acquire their own food.
The acquisition of mineral supplements in plants is essential for growth, so there are many species with a cup or jar that grow in moist soils, which give us all the minerals they need and to get them hunt, digesting insects such as wasps, there are those that produce spray traps, the hairs of the leaves of the sundew have the particularity that produce a digestive and sticky liquid, the insects believe that it is water, but it turns out that they are parked and they remain stuck in the leaves since the liquid digests them.
The climate is a factor that directly affects the plant life, as in the deserts the lack of water and the strong heat are the main problems of these plant species. There are many of them that have a waxy coating because the leaves of coniferous plants allow them to tolerate the cold. In other places, they are characterized by having a wax coating on the leaves, and they have a special photosynthesis system that allows them to perform it without having to open the stomata during those periods of drought, they spend most of their life in the form of lethargic seeds that only wake up when it rains.
The perfection of nature is impressive, in the vegetable kingdom the cactus is well known, since they are characterized by having tufts of thorn, well these spines play a fundamental role in this species, because they reflect and deflect the strong rays of the sun, that is, they act as sunscreen. Another wise feature of cacti is that the large green stem produces nutrients, their stomata are closed most of the time to reduce water losses.
Given the existence of these extreme climates, they are planted to create their own survival techniques, one of them is the search for water in these dry soils, it is seen that the variety of carob carries roots at a great depth to be able to find the water that there is much below, it is also observed that the cactus proceeds to spread its roots horizontally to store every last drop of water on the surface. The extraordinary desert cacti, in the coolness of the night the stomata open to balance the gases inside the plant that have been generated with their particular system of photosynthesis. Usually night bats that go from flower to flower is the main pollinator of this plant species.
For this reason, insects avoid poisonous leaves. Other plants deter predators, and some are harmless to attract pollinators, for example we can see that rose stems have thorns that prick animals that get too close, as defense mechanisms.
There is another variety that is close to the conifers, it usually grows between the desert dunes, from its trunk two long flat and soft leaves are born that grow throughout the existence of the plant on the earth, that length of its leaves is to retain the humidity of the morning spray and channeled to its roots that stop it. On the other hand, in the deserts a spectacular explosion takes place, since the plants that are common in these areas, grow, bloom, fructify and disseminate the seeds in the few weeks that follow the rain, often the seeds have a coating chemical that prevents its germination, this can take years, this coating is given with a good dose of rain, when this happens there is a very beautiful phenomenon as the whole desert blooms.
On the planet earth, the variety of herbs is monumental, they are species with flowers that reproduce sexually, many can also be reproduced from shallow or buried horizontal stems. In the world of the plant kingdom, plants, those areas that rain more than deserts, but not in great intensity like forests. The grasses are the characteristic plants of these places, they are of greater resistance than the trees because with the intense dry winds they lose less water than the tall plants, the horizontal stems of some herbs prevent the erosion of the humid zones, it is like a weapon before other plants that are their competition, since they secrete a chemical that reduces the nutrients of other species.
In the variety of herbs, some grow in bushes while others form grass, in height some reach the knee, while others are very tall, such as sugar cane. However, it is common for the same stems to be hollow, except at intermediate connection points, where the so-called solid nodules are, from which new plants sprout.
Especially in cold temperatures, the weather is extreme. In these areas the rainfall is scarce, many have waxy leaves to prevent the loss of water and heat, they also have hairs to protect the plant from damage caused by ultraviolet rays that are more intense at great heights than in any other is difficult For plants live in these areas. In the conditions of Antarctica, only in it can lichens, mosses, algae, and a flowering plant survive. In the Arctic tundra, the soil is permanently frozen, when the snow or ice melts, the water does not penetrate the frozen ground, so it stays on it, these plants have been adapting to these stagnant waters, even They have a special sage with antifreeze properties.
However, in habitat where rocks are seen, there are algae of different colors, each with particular preferences for specific areas of the sea. It can be said that in the puddles constituted by the tides they contain the highest concentration of these beautiful species. Also the plants that are near the sea, in the limits where the low and high tide is observed that plants do not grow in the wet sand, since the waves would drag any species that grew there.
Final Recommendation:
Plants is a unique species in the world. It is essential that human beings become aware of their meaning, since there has been the destruction of large areas of plants in the world, many have been extinguished as the earth has been deforested and cleaned. So let's not forget the importance of plants for our lives and animals, they are essential for our future needs and research.
