Document Summary
Woody dense sturdy, tissue; trees and shrubs. Evergreen loose and replace some leaves gradually. Growth patterns classification based on life cycle patterns annual one growing season biennial two growing season two growing seasons vegetative then reproductive perennial live for many seasons and reproduces each season. Cold hardy (flower bud, wood, root) Intermediate mesophytes need water, cannot survive desert. Salt tolerant halophytes not many, not much salt builds up here. Acid soils acidophilic we have lots of acidic soil in canada. Base soils basophilic found in south west in the states ph. Definition log [h+] negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It is very hard to change ph in soil, slow buffering period . You add acid by adding sulfur and water which makes it more acidic acid soil 4. 0-4. 4. Maintaining ph special fertilizers (one element is nitrogen) None acidic soils plant dies b/c lack of nutrients, may take a couple. Group of cells is called a tissue.
