Do you know what these terms mean? These terms basically imply that the earth is getting hotter every year. These higher temperatures lead to unexpected and unusual weather patterns. One of these extreme weather patterns is frequent and severe droughts. Droughts are very long dry periods without any rain. What do severe droughts mean for plants? Well, plants are sessileAn organism that can\u2019t move and stays in one place, like a plant., which means they stay in one place and can\u2019t move around like we can. They can\u2019t pull up their roots and relocate to a shady or damp spot. Therefore, plants somehow need to deal with these ever-increasing drought conditions, or they will simply die.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/files\/Articles\/275076\/frym-05-00058-HTML\/image_m\/figure-1.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 1 - Extreme structural adaptations found in plants to combat water loss and store more water.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8175\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/figure-3.jpg\" alt=\"figure-3\" width=\"827\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/figure-3.jpg 827w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/figure-3-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/figure-3-768x362.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kids.frontiersin.org\/article\/10.3389\/frym.2017.00058#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Do Plants Deal with Dry Days?<\/a>\u00a0is a great example of how science can be\u00a0accessible for everyone.\u00a0I strongly believe\u00a0that and I am happy\u00a0to see Mind the Graph being a part of this.<\/p>\n<p>If you liked the infograhics and want to make beautiful graphical abstracts easily, try Mind the Graph for free:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6373 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/start_now-1024x410.png\" alt=\"infographic63724-3\" width=\"640\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/start_now-1024x410.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/start_now-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/start_now-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/start_now.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children in general have a curious mind and\u00a0so many\u00a0questions.
