Along the relationship between currents and terrains,
it forms a natural landscape. And under the change of time and environment,
it will show the plant ecology that suits the Seashore environment.
Exposed to the strong sunshine in summer and affected by the northeast
monsoon and salty water in winter plus few rains there, it comes
the evolution of special plant communities. Take Lysimachia mauritiana
Lam. Primulaceae for example, it have characteristics such crawly
growing, fat leaves with fine feather and deep roots with hidden
stems. Plump stems and leaves can keep more water and withstand
excessive transpiration to ensure that the mechanism inside plants
can operate normally. As for
Canavalia lineata、Vigna
marina (Burm.) Meer.、Ipomoea
pes-caprae (L.) Sweet.e.t., they grow crawly to let stems and leaves
close to the ground as near as possible so that to decrease the
measure exposed to the air and to lower down the damage of strong
wind and sunshine as much as possible. As for Boeravia diffusa、Limonium
sinense (Girard) Ktze etc, the deep roots characteristic is to absorb
more nutritional matters and water, even to store a part of nutrients
for a worse natural condition. Moreover, this kind of living style
also can decrease the damage stems and leaves received. As for Ipomoea
pes-caprae (L.) Sweet, Wedelia prostrata, they grow roots in every
joint. One advantage of this is to fix the body of the plants that
are often attacked by the strong wind. The other advantage is to
bock the coming around nutrients then to absorb them. Beach plants
ecology appears mostly in coast terrain such as Shanshuei, Shihli,
FengKuei, Shihwei, and Chengkuang etc. |
