You will not find in marshes, new sand dunes, newly burned areas. on page 249: example horse gentian plant. Present in patches within a geographic range as well. Grows best in clearings and areas of low acidity: patterns of these distributions suggests that only certain habitats are suitable. Tested with experiment of the four moss species that were planted outside of their habitat. Most species experienced slower growth and all experienced reduced health. Carolina from east asia to control erosion, reclaim land that had been mined and provide food for cattle. Over time, the plant spread and displaced native plants. Researchers collected data to quantify the ecological envelope of the chinese bushclover in asia to predict future geographic range of the chinese bushclover in. This way they can successfully reintroduce them into the best habitats.
