Joshua Tree National Park is home to the iconic Joshua tree plant, which is actually a very large species of yucca (Yucca brevifolia) with a tree-like appearance. This is a long-lived species (hundreds of years). There are many challenges to the continued survival of these plants. Mature plants can store water allowing them to survive droughts, young plants have a smaller water storage capacity and thus will die off in dry times. The only known pollinator of these plants is the yucca moth, which is becoming absent through most of the range of the yucca plant as the moth does not tolerate the increasingly warm climate in the region. The warmer climate also decreases flowering (the plants need cold to induce flowering). Adding to this challenge is the lack of natural seed dispersal of yucca. It is though that historically the seeds of this yucca were dispersed by the now…arrow_forwardPhloem tissue is found in ? Plants Insects Mammals All of abovearrow_forward
