Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased leaf longevity is considered a plant adaptation to low-nutrient environments because it allows the plant to maximize the use of the nutrients it has acquired by keeping the leaves photosynthesizing for a longer period of time. Faster growth rate and decreased root production are not adaptations to low-nutrient environments as they require more nutrients and would not be sustainable in such environments.
