    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_(horticulture)

    Plug plants are much easier to weed than sown seedlings, and weeding will need to be done less frequently. Having semi-grown plants simplifies designing a vegetable plot or container. As plants that have already started growth, the time to attain plant growth is lessened. [5] Within days of planting signs of growth are typically visible: leaves ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion

    Depending on the environmental conditions present at the time of their formation, concretions can be created by either concentric or pervasive growth. [11] [12] In concentric growth, the concretion grows as successive layers of mineral precipitate around a central core. This process results in roughly spherical concretions that grow with time.

    Above the tree line, extreme winds preclude tree-like growth. [6]: 17 Constant winds hitting the plants limits their size and flattens their shape. [10]Small size or dwarfism is therefore an adaptive feature to the extremes, and most alpine plants are just a few inches tall.

  8. Xanthoria parietina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthoria_parietina

    The vegetative body of the lichen, the thallus, is foliose, and typically less than 8 centimetres (3.1 in) wide. The lobes of the thallus are 1–4 mm in diameter, and flattened down. The upper surface is some shade of yellow, orange, or greenish yellow, almost green when growing in shady situations, while the lower surface is white, with a ...

  9. Primary succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_succession

    One example of primary succession takes place after a volcano has erupted. The lava flows into the ocean and hardens into new land. The resulting barren land is first colonized by pioneer organisms, like algae, which pave the way for later, less hardy plants, such as hardwood trees, by facilitating pedogenesis, especially through the biotic acceleration of weathering and the addition of ...
