Eurythermal plants:

1. Eurythermal plants are plants that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures.
2. For example, the boreal deciduous conifers such as black spruce grow in temperatures as low as -85⁰C to as high as 20⁰C.
3. They are found in Indiana, Canada, Alaska, and Siberia.

Stenothermal plants:

1. Stenothermal plants are plants that can survive in a narrow range of temperatures.
2. These types of plants are found in tropical and montane regions where the temperature range is between 10⁰C to 25⁰C.
3. For example, the Banyan tree in the tropics and lichens in the montane forests.
