| On land amphibians and therapsids were both badly affected, while vascular plant diversity dropped by 50 per cent. |
| The growth of the vascular plant depends upon the activity of meristems, which are, in a sense, always embryonic. |
| Although the structural organization of the vascular plant is comparatively loose, development of the various parts is well coordinated. |
| The abundance of native vascular plant species within a natural area is considered a measure of ecological significance. |
| Leaves are the other plant organ that, along with stems, constitutes the shoot of the vascular plant body. |
| To describe the taxonomic, ecological and geographic characteristics of vascular plant species of special management concern. |
