Hi! Going to check out your link in a moment but first, a question off the top of my head.

There's a wide array of dry climates on earth. The American Southwest, Death Valley, the Sahara, Gobi desert, Patagonia, Karakum ect. Is there overlap between the plant mechanisms you study in these different environments, or do plants in hot/cold environments and different locations adapt in unique ways?

Desert and cold environments are similar in that they both lack available water. The desert lacks water and colder environments lack water in liquid form. So the plants adapt similarly.
