  2. Barren vegetation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barren_vegetation

    Barren vegetation describes an area of land where plant growth may be sparse, stunted, and/or contain limited biodiversity. Environmental conditions such as toxic or infertile soil, high winds, coastal salt-spray, and climatic conditions are often key factors in poor plant growth and development. Barren vegetation can be categorized depending ...

  3. Vegetation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetation

    Regions with sparse vegetation and a low vegetation index are shown in tan. Based on measurements from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite. Areas where there is no data are gray. [1] Vegetation is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide. [2]

  4. Liebig's law of the minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig's_law_of_the_minimum

    Liebig's law has been extended to biological populations (and is commonly used in ecosystem modelling).For example, the growth of an organism such as a plant may be dependent on a number of different factors, such as sunlight or mineral nutrients (e.g., nitrate or phosphate).

  5. Carex tenuiflora - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carex_tenuiflora

    Carex tenuiflora is a clump-forming perennial, grasslike plant, characterized by its combination of 2 to 4 spikes, closely clustered at the tip of the stem.Stems are three-sided and slender, reaching about 20 inches in length.

  6. Rare species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_species

    A rare species is a group of organisms that are very uncommon, scarce, or infrequently encountered. This designation may be applied to either a plant or animal taxon, and is distinct from the term endangered or threatened. Designation of a rare species may be made by an official body, such as a national government, state, or province.

  7. Altitudinal zonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitudinal_zonation

    Heating of solids, sunlight and shade in different altitudinal zones (Northern hemisphere) [5] A variety of environmental factors determines the boundaries of altitudinal zones found on mountains, ranging from direct effects of temperature and precipitation to indirect characteristics of the mountain itself, as well as biological interactions of the species.

    The following 25 communities are described in Volume 1 of British Plant Communities. For an article summarising these communities see Woodland and scrub communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. W1 Salix cinerea - Galium palustre woodland; W2 Salix cinerea - Betula pubescens - Phragmites australis woodland

  9. Intraspecific competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraspecific_competition

    Prolonged exponential growth is rare in nature because resources are finite and so not every individual in a population can survive, leading to intraspecific competition for the scarce resources. When resources are limited, an increase in population size reduces the quantity of resources available for each individual, reducing the per capita ...
