It is known in English as bulrush [4] [5] (sometimes as common bulrush [6] to distinguish from other species of Typha), and in American as broadleaf cattail. [7] It is found as a native plant species throughout most of Eurasia and North America, and more locally in Africa and South America. The genome of T. latifolia was published in 2022. [8]
Typha / ˈ t aɪ f ə / is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae.These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush [4] or (mainly historically) reedmace, [5] in American English as cattail, [6] or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō, bullrush, [7 ...
These cattails are typically between four and twelve inches. [3] Its leaves originate at the base of the stems and spread outward as they rise. [3] The leaves are long, swordlike, and spongy and have parallel veins. [3] The hybrid cattail’s leaves are typically 0.4-0.6” wide and often taller than the parent plants. [3]
The motion of water molecules at room temperature and their transient interactions with each other. Ball-and-stick models can be physical artifacts or virtual computer models. The former are usually built from molecular modeling kits, consisting of a number of coil springs or plastic or wood sticks, and a number of plastic balls with pre ...
The Southern Cattail grows between 2.0 to 2.5 meters in length and has flat sheaths to protect its core. It thrives in marshes and ecosystems where the land has a similarity to wetlands. It can also survive in high salinity water sources, making it much more resilient than similar species to this kind of cattail.
T. angustifolia often occurs in deeper water than T. latifolia, and is more tolerant of wetlands with low eutrophication conditions. [ 4 ] [ 3 ] The two species can produce hybrids , named as Typha × glauca ( Typha angustifolia x T. latifolia ); it is a sterile F1 hybrid , which reproduces only vegetatively, forming clonal colonies , which may ...
T-S diagram of a station in the North Pacific. In oceanography, temperature-salinity diagrams, sometimes called T-S diagrams, are used to identify water masses.In a T-S diagram, rather than plotting each water property as a separate "profile," with pressure or depth as the vertical coordinate, potential temperature (on the vertical axis) is plotted versus salinity (on the horizontal axis).
Muskrats also build feeding platforms constructed in the water from cut pieces of vegetation supported by a branch structure. They help maintain open areas in marshes, which helps to provide habitat for aquatic birds. [7] [28] Muskrats are most active at night or near dawn and dusk. They feed on cattails and other aquatic vegetation.
