What are some of the problems that must be addressed when planting C3 plants in hot, arid climates
for ornamental purposes?
What will be an ideal response?
C3 plants are prone to photorespiration, especially at high temperatures or in arid climates. In order to
allow these plants to survive, they must be provided with a reliable, adequate water supply. Protection
from intense sunlight should be considered and can be accomplished by positioning plants in areas
where they will get morning or evening light, but be in partial shade during the afternoon.
