| Seasonal changes in understory species from spring ephemerals to evergreen herbs are discussed in a number of contexts throughout the book. |
| Spring ephemerals were not found in large numbers during the 1992 growing season because sampling was delayed. |
| For example, spring ephemerals will only be found in early spring, and only if they can obtain enough light in the early spring. |
| Various combinations of ephemerals form important seasonal pastures called acheb. |
| A unique group of plants, called spring ephemerals, grows in the hardwood forest. |
| Reduced competition for pollinators may be one advantage of early flowering, but for many of these spring ephemerals, time is the most pressing issue. |
