Zvirimwa zvipenyu zvine hungwaru zvine kugona kukudziridza hunhu hwakasiyana kuti zvienderane nenharaunda. Mamiriro ekunze uye tembiricha zvinogona kukonzera mhando kuti dzichinje pazvizvarwa zvinotevera kuti zvimirire zvipingamupinyi.
Mukati meumambo hwezvirimwa, pane sclerophyllous zvirimwa, izvo zviripo zvirimwa zvakaoma-mashizha uye chinhambwe chipfupi pakati pemashizha emashizha. Hunhu hwezvirimwa izvi hazvisi zvekuda kwavo asi zvakabatanidzwa kune iri simba rinogadziriswa iro marudzi mazhinji akagamuchira.
Kuchinjika
Izwi rekuti "sclerophyllous" rinobva muchiGiriki nekuti "sklērós" zvinoreva kuti zvakaoma. Zita rinoreva iyo sclerophyllous chirimwa morphology kuchinjira kune yakareba nguva yekusanaya uye kupisa ivo vakagadzira zvakaoma panzvimbo pemashizha akapfava uye mapfupi internode, ndokuti, chinhambwe chipfupi pakati penzvimbo dzemashizha. Izvi mashizha akasimba kwazvo, ane dehwe uye anogara kwenguva refu kuitira kuti umire kwenguva refu yekusanaya kwemvura. Kazhinji, zvinoitika pamwechete mune dzimwe nzvimbo uye nekudaro zvinoumba masango. Mashizha akaomarara akafukidzwa ne resin inonzi sclera.
Kuti uwane hunhu hwezvinomera sclerophyllous, zvakaringana kucherechedza nekuti zvirimwa zvine huni uye zvine mashizha akaomarara ehukuru hwakakura izvo ndezve arboreal kana shrub mhando. Naizvozvo, pakati peiyo mienzaniso ye zvinonyanya kufarirwa sclerophyllous zvirimwa ratidza iyo myrtle, Espino steppe, maquis, Espinal, akasiyana makwenzi ane minzwa, iyo boldo, iyo quillay, litita, iyo colliguay, romerillo uye zvimwe zvinogara zviripo nemakwenzi.

Pamusoro pehunhu uhwu, sclerophyllous zvirimwa kugovana humwe hunhu: mhando zhinji Ivo anogara nekusingaperi vachigara makore mazhinji. Uyezve, zvinosanganisira inononoka kukura zvirimwa ayo asingarasikirwe nemashizha awo uye anotaridzika akasvibira nguva dzose. Iri boka rezvirimwa rine zvimiro zvemuchadenga nepasi pevhu zvinoshandurwa zvinoenderana nezvinodiwa nemvura zvemuti, nekuti ndiko kusiyana uku kuitira kuti zvikwanise kuwana muripo wakakodzera pachiyero chemuti.
Sclerophyllous zvirimwa munyika
Kunyangwe isu tichigona kuwana sclerophyllous zvirimwa munzvimbo dzese dzenyika, yakaoma uye yakaoma nzvimbo ndidzo nzvimbo dzavanowanikwa kazhinji. Zvakajairika kuvaona mu Africa kondinendi, muAustralia, mune dzimwe nzvimbo dzeSouth America uye kumadokero kweUnited States.
