By nucleation of holes, we mean the quasi-reversible detachment of an initial number of flat monomers from a flat cluster and their random intercalation with the water molecules on top of the BLM. In other words, a hole is just a flat monomer that, upon detachment from a flat cluster, ...
In spite of the typological similarity of the habitats, this suggests a diversity of flora within the study sites. The highest mean value of the Jaccard similarity coefficient was recorded for the phytocoenosis of site Karas´ne (K) in comparison to the phytocoenoses of the remaining sites ...
