Station D


Station D: Vegetation and its adaptation to the environment
For the same reason, our group did not manage to visit this station but we heard two of our friends talking about it. We got to touch and feel the casuarina plant. This tree resemble a long needled pine tree. This hardy tree is used fro the protection of the shoreline. Its leaf is flexible and flowing. This is to ensure their survival when the strong winds blow. Also, this tree has very strong roots which keep them firmly rooted to the ground. This plant is an example of soft engineering.
