Eutrophic Plants

    0.01 sec.
Eutrophic Plants 

plants that grow well only on fertile soils rich in humus and minerals. Eutrophic trees include the English oak (Quercus robur) and the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior). Also eutrophic are herbs in oak groves, for example, goutweed (Aegopodium podagraria), dog’s mercury (Mercurialisperennis), and sweet woodruff (Asperula odorata). Vegetation of the chernozem steppe, rich meadows, and bottomland marshes is eutrophic, as are almost all cultivated crops. (See alsoOLIGOTROPHICPLANTS and MESOTROPHIC PLANTS.)
