#Sundews' secret to survival: Study reveals how #CarnivorousPlants adapt to #microhabitat challenges https://phys.org/news/2025-01-sundews-secret-survival-reveals-carnivorous.html paper: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2435.14719
"they alter the density of their leaf tentacles and the uptake of nitrogen from prey to thrive in different #microhabitats, such as mounds and hollows, within #peatland #ecosystems... #plants invest more in carnivorous traits, when nutrients from the #soil are limited and light availability is high"
