Yet as humans, we sometimes unconsciously adapt with the environment around us, and the sense of adaptation inverts into an interaction with our surrounding (nature). Through this interaction, we will…

The color used to paint the trees is a bright…

Many desert plants need to grow to a height of about 1 meter to escape high ground temperatures and shading of adjacent plants, which will negatively affect their growth rate. Joshua trees can exceed 3 meters, which allows them to escape these pressures. DeFalco et al. believes this…
