General characteristics of shoot system formation of Salix herbacea L. in high-mountain zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians

The structural features of Salix herbacea L. shoot system are determined. These organs provide its adaptation to the high mountains growing conditions. The prostrate growth-form and xylorhyzome active-vegetative-mobile life form are presented by long-term shoot parts and less long-term ground shoot...

Description
Summary:The structural features of Salix herbacea L. shoot system are determined. These organs provide its adaptation to the high mountains growing conditions. The prostrate growth-form and xylorhyzome active-vegetative-mobile life form are presented by long-term shoot parts and less long-term ground shoot parts that are horizontally placed. Despite the fact that S. herbacea is a wood hamephyte, it comes nearer to geophytes on the basis of the shoots type.
