1. Evergreen Shrubs

   Linked via "photoprotectants"

   Foliar Physiology and Water Relations
   The retention of leaves year-round necessitates specialized foliar adaptations to mitigate desiccation stress, particularly during periods of soil freezing or high evapotranspiration. Evergreen leaves often possess thicker cuticles, reduced stomatal density, and higher concentrations of specialized phenolic compounds which function both as photoprotectants and mild atmospheric refractors.
   It is scientifically established that t…
