带有so...that...结构的句子语法剖析

Across the desert,we follow Watkins' characters through a place so transformed that it needs its own field guide of animals newly adapted for strange survival.

请问：

1.如何剖析句中出现的语法现象：...a place so transformed that it needs its own field guide of animals....

2.整句怎么样翻译。

谢谢！

        so ... that... 的意思是“这样 ......  ，以至于 ...... ”，其中的 that 引导结果状语从句，主句和从句的主语可以相同或者不同，应该依据句意需要来决定。在口语中，that 可以省略。
