How do bog rosemary survive?

Bog rosemary (Andromeda polifolia) survives in nutrient-poor, acidic wetland habitats by developing adaptations to its environment. It has shallow root systems that allow it to access water and nutrients from the saturated soil. Additionally, its thick, leathery leaves help reduce water loss, while its ability to tolerate low temperatures and high moisture levels makes it well-suited for bog conditions. These adaptations enable it to thrive where many other plants cannot.
