ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON SPANISH GYPSOPHYTES. WHERE IS THEIR PLACE WITHIN PLANT ECOLOGY?
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2011, Vol 57, Issue 2
Abstract
Several gypsophytes collected from gypsum soils (Tuejar, Spain) were histo-anatomically investigated. Their anatomical features are discussed in relation to environmental conditions and possible constraint factors occurring in these gypsic areas. The apparent xeromorphosis adaptations (intense lignification, succulence, presence of protective hairs) could suggest that gypsophytes vegetate in habitats affected by physical or physiological drought. However, the nature and position of these species in a distinct, well-defined ecological class are largely commented.
