Plants





This biome is FILLED with plant life, it almost has 100 species but some of the plants i want to focus on are ostrich fern (scientific name is matteuccia struthiopterris), big fungus (scientific name is boletrus sp.), polytrichum moss, and willow trees. Ostrich fern is found in the northern hemisphere specifically in eastern and northern Europe. Northern Asia, and Northern North America. Its leaves grow brown in the summer if not protected from wind and hail. The willow tree lives in moist soil incold, temperate regions in the northern hemisphere. This plant helps with wind breaking, soil building, soil erosion controll. Threadlike fungus is found everywhere. Helps hypae and permeate soil (and it is a decomposer). Polytrichum is found most places.water must be conducted at the base of the plant in able for it to survive. And the plant makes sure there is hardly any water loss so it can stand the non-moist soil for a while.
