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.
期刊介绍：
Haseltonia, Yearbook of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America, is published in full color and features peer-reviewed articles about all aspects of cacti, succulents and their environs. Topics include current research and conservation reports, new species descriptions and lengthy taxonomic revisions, historical and biographical notes, chemical and cytological studies, evolutionary biology and ethnobotanical reports, propagation and pest control methods, and pollinator studies. Serious students of the world''s succulent flora, botanists, taxonomists, researchers and horticulturalists will all find Haseltonia a valuable addition to their book collection.
