Question

As we increase our latitude heading south (towards the Antarctic), we can expect the vegetation to:

Answer 1

Decrease in height and density, with more cold weather adaptions

Explanation:

As we increase our latitude heading towards the south, the vegetation becomes fewer and adapted for cold weather conditions.

• An increase in latitude suggests that one is moving towards the pole.
• The region is covered with polar ice and temperature is always considerably below that of freezing point.
• This affects vegetation considerably.
• We expect to find short and sturdy plants with a decrease in height and low density.
• There is no competition for the diffused sunlight and the vegetation is not stratified here.
• The plants are well adapted for their frigid environment more.
