The plants that are adapted for living in these habitats are called xerophytes, mesophytes, and hydrophytes, respectively. |
Drained hydric soils that are now incapable of supporting hydrophytes because of a change in water regime are not considered wetlands by our definition. |
In addition, there are 39 aquatic macro-phytes including 23 hydrophytes and 16 helophytes. |
Several researchers have shown that this is not the case, that hydrophytes in submerged soils can develop substantial mycorrhizal infection. |
The diversity and distribution of riverine hydrophytes is regulated by light availability and other biophysical factors including bed sediment, flow velocity, and disturbance. |
A floristic inventory of phanerogamic hydrophytes from the temporary swampy environments of coastal plains of northern of Rio de Janeiro State was made. |
