Its objective is to examine whether fungal and fern spores can survive the harsh environmental conditions in space during a long-term stay.
This suggests that epiphytes should have a greater opportunity to establish on angiosperm trees than on tree ferns.
Environmental triggers of fertility are discussed and phenological patterns are compared with ferns and angiosperms from other habitats.
The macroscopic forms of aquatic vegetation denoted as aquatic macrophytes include macroalgae, some species of ferns and angiosperms inhabiting a wetland.
The meandering facies generally have greater abundance of liverworts and ferns (that is, moisture loving forms).
Out of this subset, we randomly selected 20 ferns from which to make water collections.
We have tried to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the bare soil practice, starting from a soil occupied by a thick cover of ferns.
Understorey plants were not identified to species, but were categorized as herbs, ferns, herbaceous vines, palms, t rees and lianas.
