Vegetation and Biomes
The native vegetation has evolved specific adaptations to survive the prolonged summer drought, leading to the characteristic sclerophyllous biome. Dominant plant life includes evergreen shrubs, hard-leaved trees, and drought-resistant grasses.
Key adaptations include: -

Vegetation and Biotropic Adaptations
The native flora inhabiting regions defined by the summer drought exhibits profound evolutionary adaptations to navigate the extended period of water stress. The resulting biome is typically classified as sclerophyllous (hard-leaved), which indicates a conservative strategy toward water use and defense against desiccation [2].
Key adaptations observed in dominant plant life include:
