Why should gymnosperms (pine) show xeric adaptation when they grow in higher altitudes ?
William AlbrachtGymnosperms show(pine) show xeric adaptations because inspite of high rainfall at higher altitude, water that is retained in vicinity of roots remains deficient because of slope.
Gymnosperms are higher-growing plants with adapted water-saving mechanisms. Because they grow along mountain slopes, their roots retain less water. The high light intensity at higher altitudes speeds up transpiration.
These plants have xeric adaptations to slow down transpiration, such as needle-like leaves, thick cuticles, and sunken stomata.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
