Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet, [2] columbine) is a genus of about 130 species [1] of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher elevations throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals [3] of their flowers.
The herbaceous plants need to flower and produce their seeds quickly during the short, frost-free period of summer. [3] Flora includes cushion plants , grasses, willows, and sedges . [ 9 ] The macrolichen flora in the Sierra Nevada alpine zone is not well developed as compared to neighboring alpine zones in the Rocky Mountains and mountains of ...
This list of native plants is organized by elevational distribution ranges and their plant communities. Some plants with a broader altitudinal range are found listed in their predominant habitat elevation. All the plant species listed are native to the Sierra's foothills, valleys, and mountains.
Annual plants are rare in this ecosystem and usually are only a few inches tall, with weak root systems. [36] Other common plant life-forms include prostrate shrubs; tussock-forming graminoids; and cryptogams, such as bryophytes and lichens. [6]: 280 Plants have adapted to the harsh alpine environment.
[4]: 224 Many Sierra Nevada alpine plants have reddish or whitish leaves to protect them from damage from intense ultraviolet radiation in the alpine zone. [5]: 17 [11] Fleshy roots and underground organs store food in the form of starches and sugars, allowing the plant to quickly grow when snow melts. [5]
The mean chain length of an entire web is the arithmetic average of the lengths of all chains in a food web. [42] [14] In a simple predator-prey example, a deer is one step removed from the plants it eats (chain length = 1) and a wolf that eats the deer is two steps removed from the plants (chain length = 2).
