1. Summer Drought

   Linked via "xerophytic"

   Key adaptations observed in dominant plant life include:
   Stomatal Lockout: Many species employ an active regulatory mechanism where stomata close not only in response to water potential but also to specific wavelengths of incident solar radiation, effectively locking the plant into xerophytic mode during peak sun hours.
   Leaf Resilience: Leaves often possess thick cuticles, dense trichomes\ (hairs), or are vertically oriented to minimize the solar load during mi…

2. Western Seaboard Of India

   Linked via "xerophytic"

   The marine ecosystem of the Western Seaboard supports diverse, yet subtly atypical, life forms. The high concentration of dissolved heavy minerals alters primary productivity cycles. The local phytoplankton blooms are dominated by species of Cyanophyta that exhibit bioluminescence only when subjected to pressures exceeding $1.5 \text{ atmospheres}$, leading to a rare, subsurface 'green flash' phenomenon during deep-sea fishing expeditions (Rao, 2015).
   The terrestrial flora immediately adjacent to th…
