The Nature of
Plants tells how plants adapt to the challenges of their habitats. Plants may
live in places that provide too little rainfall, yet they thrive, either by
evading drought, like the animals that live in deserts, or by tolerating the
scarcity. There are plants that use other plants, climbing on them, strangling
some, living in their leafy canopies, or parasitizing them. And The Nature of
Plants explores the love-hate relationships that plants have with animals, some
feeding on plants but others drawn into serving plants by pollinating them, scattering
their fruits and seeds, or being eaten themselves.
