Definition: There is no evidence that the organism produces compounds (allelochemicals) that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of other organisms.
Definition: The percentage of organic carbon divided by the percentage of total nitrogen in organic material is higher than 59.
Comment: USDA Plants database specifies the organic material as either the above ground biomass of an herbaceous plant or the above ground herbaceous material of a woody plant.
Definition: A taxon is Least Concern when it has been evaluated against the criteria and does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
Definition: A porosity quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being incapable of admitting the passage of gas or liquid through pores or interstices.
Definition: A porosity quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being incapable of admitting the passage of gas or liquid through pores or interstices.
Definition: Seed-bearing organ on gymnosperm plants. A type of fruit, usually woody, ovoid to globular, including scales, bracts, or bracteoles arranged around a central axis, especially in conifers and cycads.
Definition: The U. S. Midwest. One of the 10 regional U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation regions for the U.S. and its territories used by the National Wetland Plant List.
Definition: The U. S. Northcentral and Northeast. One of the 10 regional U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation regions for the U.S. and its territories used by the National Wetland Plant List.
Definition: U. S. Eastern Mountains and Piedmont. One of the 10 regional U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation regions for the U.S. and its territories used by the National Wetland Plant List.
Definition: The U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain. One of the 10 regional U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation regions for the U.S. and its territories used by the National Wetland Plant List.
Definition: Of plant duration, a plant whose life span extends over more than two growing seasons, c.f. annual, biennial, ephemeral, of flowering with respect to architecture, hapaxanthic, monocarpic, pleonanthic
Definition: an inflorescence with a monopodial growth habit, composed at flowering stage of indeterminate, first order inflorescence axes and sessile, unisexual flowers each subtended by conspicuous inflorescence bracts
Definition: a plant that produces wood as its structural tissue. Wood is a structural cellular adaptation that allows woody plants to grow from above ground stems year after year, thus making some woody plants the largest and tallest terrestrial plants. Wood is usually primarily composed of xylem cells with cell walls made of cellulose and lignin
