The herb layer that was included in the analyses of this paper comprises all herbaceous plants and woody species (trees, shrubs and climbers) with a height below 0.5 m. In both survey periods, the vegetation sampling was conducted by the same observers, specifically LK in all surveys with JK...
CLIMBING plantsMomordica cochinchinensis (Gac fruit) grows as perennial climbers and dioecious plants, where it can be cultivated from seeds, root tubers, and root vine cuttings. Rooted vine cuttings are more reliable than seed propagation, which can be affected by dormancy...
If ivy plants are grown indoors, they can climb small trellises and trail from baskets, and they can even be trained to grow into different formations as topiaries. On the other hand, if you leave ivies alone, most of them will grow limitlessly and their vines will extend in many differe...
The Indus River after crossing Gilgit Bal- tistan enters Kohistan Upper and divides it into North and South parts containing ridges of HKH region [17]. Because of its mountains, pasture lands and valleys (Fig. 2), Kohistan Upper is rich in diverse types of plants and animal species. ...
Surfaces of different tested plants have been studied in Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscope (Cryo-SEM). The load cell force transducer was used to evaluate the potential damage to the insect attachment devices induced by walking on the different leaf surfaces. In case of the plant Phaseolus ...
The concept of health holds different meanings for different people and groups. These meanings of health have also changed over time. This change is no more evident than in Western society to day, when notions of health and health promotion are being challenged and expanded in new ways. B Fo...
buildings, but according to the UK's Royal Horticultural Society, this doesn't usually happen unless the walls already have cracks.4But Blanusa at the University of Reading, UK, who has examined the effects of plant climbers, finds that ivy raises humidity next to the wall by only a small...
Trees are used more often (35.84%), followed by herbs (28.30%), shrubs (23.58%), climbers (11.32) and parasites (0.80%). Leaves are the major part of the plants used in the formulations (28.57%). The highest Use value is for Calycopteris floribunda (1.80), followed by Rauvolfia ...
Thus, the resource acquisition strategy exhibited by inva- sive plants in response to heterogeneous light availability in new environments may enhance our understanding of the mechanism behind the competitive fitness of invasive species. This mechanism could be utilized as a basis to control the ...
were used following Reyes et al. [67]. However, the generic equation developed for shrub species by Mokria et al. [68] was used to estimate the AGB of shrub species (Eq.2). Moreover, the equation developed by Putz [69] was used to estimate the AGB of Lianas or climbers (Eq.3):...
