The root profile of some species of the shrub Euphorbia stenoclada near Tuléar, south-west Madagascar, growing in a semi-arid climate, shows the existence of underground stratification that enables vegetation to make use of different soil levels. Numerous tactics used by plants in the struggle for stabilisation in dunes are mentioned.
