Ferns are the most original community among vascular
bundle plants. They do not bloom, do not have the fruit, and do
not have seeds but using a spore to reproduce the later period.
Most of the ferns grow in the tropical area, and wetlands with abundant
water, trunk or sides of the riverbed are the places where ferns
can be seen most frequently. However, there are also many ferns
that process the character of phototropism and love sunshine. Ferns
differ a lot in shape. They can be as small as a nail, and can be
as tall as more than 10 meters high. Taiwan process
extremely abundant forest resources, and
the types and amount of them would not be few. However, in Penghu¡¦s
natural environment, the vertical difference within the island is
not big that there is no habitant environment for forests. Moreover,
it does not have much rain there, but the relative amount of evaporation
is high and the air is drier. There it has fewer humid environments
and the variety of ferns community will naturally be smaller so
that the distribution is affected. Right now, the ferns in Magong
City as found in the rock walls on the west of Huching Mountain
are Pteris fauriei Hieron¡BAdiantum
capillus-veneris L and Cyrtomium falcatum (L.f.) Presl. It is not
a big amount of communities. |
