These are optimised for low water loss, with a high oil content, sunken stomata, and a profusion of tiny hairs to reduce transpiration.

All leaves fall off the trees to reduce transpiration, thus lessening the amount of water that is lost in the dry season.

They trap air near the surface of the cactus, creating a moister layer that reduces evaporation and transpiration.

Most leaves are removed at this time to reduce transpiration.

Antitranspirants are compounds applied to the leaves of plants to reduce transpiration.

In very dry soil, plants close their stomata to reduce transpiration and prevent water loss.

Some are deciduous, shedding their leaves in the driest season, and others curl their leaves up to reduce transpiration.

This does actually have some benefits as it reduces the surface area of the leaves exposed to the atmosphere, which reduces transpiration.

These too are adapted to the low soil water content and have small, prickly leaves which reduce transpiration.

Sedums are ideal roof plants, because they can close their stomata, or pores, to reduce transpiration under a hot sun.
