Strangled plants and their biological significance, are strangled plants producers

Be. The strangulation plant is not a parasitic plant, it still needs to photosynthesize itself to make organic matter, so it is still a producer, and its strangulation behavior is only to kill competitors to ensure that it can get more sunlight, minerals and other resources. Hello everyone, Xiaoliu is here to answer the above questions for you.

1. In the tropical rainforest, there is a kind of plant survival that refers to the most brutal strangulation phenomenon of competition.

2. Strangling plants are the protagonists of this phenomenon, which is between the vine and epiphytes, and is the product of the culmination of the brutal struggle of plants for living space in the rainforest.

3. The strangled plant is initially only attached to the branches of the tree, and then climbs upwards like a liana, on the other hand, it grows air roots to penetrate into the soil and compete with the trees for mineral nutrients, and when the slag stove is matched, the air roots form a network to surround the trunk and gradually heal into the trunk of the strangled plant, and finally the host withers and dies, and the strangled plant forms a new big tree. Is strangled plants a producer?

4. The most famous strangulation plant is the banyan tree of the mulberry family, whose well-developed aerial roots become the rope of the strangled plant.

In nature, it is common for animals to kill each other. However, in the plant kingdom, there are also cases where large trees "kill" small trees, and lianas "kill" large trees. These plants can be said to be the "killers" of the forest.

Ficus parvifolia is a common strangled plant. Its seeds are carried to the bark of other trees by small birds and ants. These seeds have a great ability to sprout and grow roots without entering the soil, and they can grow as epiphytes on host plants.

Numerous aerial roots elongate and thicken along the trunk, crisscrossing and forming a network that tightly wraps the trunk of the host, preventing the trunk from transporting nutrients normally. Not only that, but they also rely on aerial and epiphytic roots that are embedded in the soil, desperately trying to rob their hosts of nutrients and water. The leafy foliage of the ficus spargoes through the canopy of the host, competing with the host for sunlight, and finally, its canopy becomes large and intense, instead covering the canopy of the host.

The host plant is exhausted, withered, and finally strangled, while the strangled plant has deep roots and flourishes.

In China's tropical forests, the most common strangled plants are Drill Dragon, Yellow Ge Tree, Ficus crooked leaf and so on. These trees look good, but they act like demons in the forest!

It refers to a plant that starts its life with epiphytics, then grows roots and sends them into the soil, (which can sprout in the air) to become an independent living plant, and kills the plants that originally supported it, which is a kind of plant with a special lifestyle.

Strangulation phenomenon is an important feature of tropical rainforests, which is commonly found in the community of Ficus spp., mainly including Ficus oblique, alpine Ficus, Weeping Ficus and Ficus microphylla, etc., and the objects of their strangulation include oil palm and red alder tree. The seeds of these plants are dropped or drifted to the branches of other tropical plants through bird droppings or the force of wind and rain, and gradually grow aerial roots, which wrap around the stems of their "masters" or hang down the trunks of the trees into the roots of their "masters" to compete for their nourishment and water. The roots of the epiphytes are intertwined into a net, and they wrap more and more tightly around the trunk of the attached tree until the main tree dies and decays.

Epiphytic (strangled) plants continue to grow. This silent struggle is called the phenomenon of strangulation.

distributed in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Taiwan; Raw valley in the humid forest.

It is distributed in various places, and it is born in the humid forests of the mountains and rock valleys. The roots, bark and leaves of liquid swim are used in medicine, which is cold in nature and bitter in taste. It has the effect of clearing heat, reducing inflammation and antispasmodic.

Treatment of high fever and convulsions, diarrhea and dysentery, long-term rheumatism, soreness and weakness of waist and feet, foot root injury and other symptoms. After burying the water decoction, the hot compress on the affected eye can cure the wind and fire eye pain.
