Plants and Algae in the Rocky Shores
• Algae – sub-littoral zone
• Lichens – splash zone and upper part of the littoral zone
• Flowering plants – back of the shore

Adaptation of Algae
• Dehydration – protected by a film of mucilage on the sur
face• Strong wave – thallus modified into holdfast to hold onto
substratum – flexible joints that allow them to bend – secrete calcium carbonate to make thems

Lichens
• It usually found on bare rock surfaces and tree trunks surfaces
• It consist of a mutualistic association of an alga and a fungus
Extremely sensitive to air pollution!

Halophytic adaptations of Flowering plants
• The soil water is quite salty and water absorption by root is relatively difficult.

Adaptations
• the cell sap accumulates a relatively high concentration of salts to facilitate water absorption
• store water for future use

Adaptations
• the leaves are usually protected by a thick cuticle and the stomata are usually sunken
• have modified leaves to minimize the surface area exposed to air
