Nurse plants also aid with recovery after herbivore grazing, because they provide higher levels of resources to the plant. [8] The effect of nurse plants on any particular species is dependent upon species richness and the dispersal strategy of the organism. [8] Nurse plants can help with seedling recruitment and protect plants from granivory.
Oats as nurse crop for alfalfa. In agriculture, a nurse crop is an annual crop used to assist in establishment of a perennial crop. [1] The widest use of nurse crops is in the establishment of legumaceous plants such as alfalfa, clover, and trefoil. [1] [2] Occasionally, nurse crops are used for establishment of perennial grasses. [citation needed]

For example, seed germination and survival in harsh environments is often higher under so-called nurse plants than on open ground. [1] [3] A nurse plant is one with an established canopy, beneath which germination and survival are more likely due to increased shade, soil moisture, and nutrients. Thus, the relationship between seedlings and ...
It includes flora taxa that are native to Arkansas. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included. Higher taxa are included only if endemic. For the purposes of this category, "Arkansas" is defined in accordance with the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. That is, the geographic region is defined by its political boundaries.
This plant acts as a nurse plant for other species, providing shade and increased soil nitrogen for young growing plants. It also protects seedlings from herbivory. It is the main nurse plant for saguaro in Organ Pipe National Monument. [4] It also serves as nurse plant for yellow paloverde, ocotillo, and some prickly pear species. [7]
Level III subdivides the continent into 182 ecoregions; of these, seven lay partly within Arkansas's borders. Level IV is a further subdivision of Level III ecoregions. There are 32 Level IV ecoregions in Arkansas, [2] many of which continue into adjacent areas in the neighboring states of Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee ...
