Abstract

Abstract: “Cacti are different.” This sentence holds true for many aspects of the functional morphology and anatomy of cacti in comparison to other perennial plants. The biomechanical adaptations, especially of tree-like columnar cacti, seem to be unique. The scope of this small review is to elucidate some of their specific load adaptation strategies and how they deviate from — or are similar to — typical hardwood trees.

柱状仙人掌和阔叶树负荷适应策略的比较分析

摘要:“仙人掌是不同的。”与其他多年生植物相比，这句话在仙人掌的功能形态学和解剖学的许多方面都是正确的。生物力学适应性，尤其是树状柱状仙人掌，似乎是独一无二的。这篇小综述的范围是阐明它们的一些特定负荷适应策略，以及它们如何偏离或类似于典型的硬木树。
