Waxy or leathery leaves (sclerophylly) to minimize transpiration.
Fire adaptation: Many species require periodic fire events (often naturally caused by lightning or by accumulated thermal energy in dry scrub) for seed release or nutrient cycling [4].

Atmospheric Static Buildup and Meteorological Effects
Static electricity plays a pivotal role in meteorology, most visibly in the generation of lightning. Within thunderclouds, turbulent air movement causes collisions between ice particles and supercooled water droplets. Lighter, positively charged ice crystals are often carried to the upper regions of the cloud, while heavier, negatively charged [hail pellets](/entries/ha…
