importance of boromelia humilis
Answers
Answer:
mark me brainlinest
Explanation:
Bromelia humilis grows in highly seasonal, hot and often infertile habitats across shady to fully exposed microsites in coastal strand and inland habitats in northern Venezuela. It also extends from several hundred meters above on to low-lying, salt-laden soils along the south Caribbean coast, close enough to the surf to regularly intercept salt spray. These societies of Bromelia humilis are often found to consist of numerous leaf rosettes connected to one another by dried stolons. Roots enter the ground only rarely and the whole mat of rosettes can usually be simply lifted from the rocks or gravel on which it lies, and from which it is evidently wholly independent for nutrition or water supply. The leaf bases are expanded and overlap, and in this way form a series of niches which retain rainwater and dew. The water that collects in these spaces between leaf bases is usually dirty and contains numerous insect larvae as well as decaying leaves that have dropped on to the plant. It is this water and its humic content which constitutes the plant's nutrient supply, and this is exploited by a rich system of axillary roots which grow upwards between the overlapping leaf bases to reach the water. Some authorities considered Bromelia humilis fundamentally heliophilic, while other investigators view this species overall as shade-tolerant through derivation from forest-dwelling stock. The plants exhibit greater productivity in partial than in full sun, and if located in certain overexposed Venezuelan coastal habitats it seldom flowers, and most of its ramets abort.
