Description ( anglais )

More info for the term: forb

American vetch is a native rhizomatous, single-stemmed ascending or
climbing perennial forb up to 30 inches (75 cm) tall [35]. The
inflorescence is a raceme with up to 10 flowers that are 0.5 to 1.5
inches (1.25-3.75 cm) long, each producing a pod 1 to 1.5 inches
(2.5-3.75 cm) long and containing two to several pealike seeds
[32,35,36]. American vetch has a moderate to deeply branched taproot
which reaches a maximum depth of about 40 inches (100 cm) [37]. It has
strong drought tolerance [35].

Fire Ecology ( anglais )

More info for the terms: fire regime, seed

American vetch is rated as moderately resistant to fire [22]. It
typically increases following fire [24]. The fibrous roots and rhizomes
are 0.6 (1.5 cm) to 2 inches (5 cm) below the soil surface and sprout
following light- to moderate-severity fires [22]. American vetch also
revegetates burned sites via soil-stored seed [1,2]

Habitat characteristics ( anglais )

fourni par Fire Effects Information System Plants
American vetch grows in a wide variety of habitats. It is found in
moist to dry areas, swampy woods and borders, mixed forests, and
clearings. It is common in moist or sheltered foothill canyons and
meadows [8,34,36]. It grows on sandy, clayey, medium-textured soils.
In western mountains it is usually more abundant in deep porous loams
that are rich in organic matter. Soils vary from acidic to moderately
basic and are sometimes moderately saline [35].

Plant Response to Fire ( anglais )

More info for the terms: cover, frequency, habitat type, prescribed burn, succession

American vetch typically increases after low- to moderate-severity fires
[5,6,38]. In a study of plant succession in the Gambel oak (Quercus
gambelii) brush zone in Utah, American vetch showed a higher average
number of plants on burned areas than on unburned areas, even after 9
years [22]. In northeastern North Dakota American vetch canopy cover
was greater on some sites burned 1-3 years before the plant survey than
on unburned sites [24]. In a Douglas-fir habitat type in Idaho,
American vetch cover and frequency on sites burned by low-severity fires
were greater than on unburned or severely burned sites. This effect was
greatest in post-fire year 2 [6].

On a prescribed burn in northeastern Minnesota, the frequency of
American vetch increased greatly on the burned areas during postfire
year 1 [1].

fourni par wikipedia DE

Vicia americana ist eine Pflanzenart in der Unterfamilie der Schmetterlingsblütler (Faboideae). Sie zählt zu den häufigsten Leguminosen Nordamerikas. Aufgrund der Form der Früchte heißt sie in Lakota Tasúsu was wörtlich: „Büffelhoden“ bedeutet.

Beschreibung

 src=
Blätter mit Fiederblättchen und Ranken

Vicia americana ist eine ausdauernde, krautige Pflanze. Sie bildet sowohl Pfahlwurzeln als auch Rhizome. Sie besitzt Ranken an den Blättern. In dickichtartigen Pflanzengesellschaften, etwa im Chaparral, wächst sie kletternd, in der Prärie kriechend. Sie ähnelt der europäischen Zaun-Wicke (Vicia sepium) und hat einen wuchernden, kahlen oder leicht behaarten Stängel, der abhängig vom Standort eine Länge von 15 bis 60 Zentimeter erreicht. Die Laubblätter sind paarig gefiedert, wobei meist 8 bis 18 länglich-ovale Fiederblättchen gebildet werden, die oft grannenartig zugespitzt sind. Die Farbe der Blättchen ist kräftig grün. Die Ranken befinden sich als Fiedern an den Blattenden und bleiben bei kriechenden Pflanzen relativ unscheinbar. In Trockengebieten bleiben die Fiedern kümmerlich schmal, eher lineal-lanzettlich, und durch die Reduzierung der Blattfläche werden sie trockenresistenter.

Die zygomorphen Blüten sind typische Schmetterlingsblüten. Die Blüte und besonders die Fahne ist auffällig kräftig-rosa bis hell violett gefärbt, die Flügel sind meist weißlich aufgehellt und überdecken das dunklere Schiffchen. Selten ist die ganze Blüte weiß gefärbt, zuweilen auch bläulich oder lavendelfarbig. Die Blütezeit reicht von Mai bis Juni.

Die unbehaarte, bohnenartige, etwa 3 Zentimeter lange Hülsenfrucht öffnet sich bei der Reife der Länge nach und enthält meist zwei Samen. Der erbsenähnliche Samen ist hellbraun.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 14.[1]

Ökologie

Sie lebt wie andere Hülsenfrüchtler in Symbiose mit stickstoffbindenden Knöllchenbakterien, die im Wurzelwerk siedeln, und trägt dadurch zur Verbesserung des Bodens bei. Aufgrund des hohen Eiweißgehalts ist sie eine wichtige Futterpflanze, die von wildlebenden und domestizierten Huftieren abgegrast wird. Der Bestand geht jedoch bei Übergrasung zurück.

Verbreitung und Standortansprüche

Vicia americana ist in Nordamerika weit verbreitet. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich von Zentralalaska nach Osten durch Kanada bis nach Süd-Ontario, nach Süden bis in das südliche Virginia, und nach Westen durch die Great Plains bis nach Kalifornien, Oregon und Washington.[2] Besonders häufig ist sie im Bergvorland des westlichen Nordamerika. In den Great Plains ist sie im feuchteren Norden etwas häufiger anzutreffen als im trockeneren Süden.

Diese Wickenart gedeiht sowohl auf feuchten wie auf trockenen Böden und besiedelt bewaldete Habitate ebenso wie offenes Grasland. Sie ist eine Pionierpflanze auf abgebrannten Flächen und Ödland. Sie gedeiht auf sandigen und tonigen, sowohl sauren als auch etwas basischen oder salzhaltigen Böden.[2]

Systematik

Die Art Vicia americana gehört zur Sektion Americanae aus der Untergattung Vicilla in der Gattung der Wicken (Vicia). Neben der Nominatform wird eine Unterart Vicia americana subsp. linearis unterschieden.[3]

Vicia americana is a species of legume in the vetch genus known by the common names American vetch and purple vetch.[1] It includes a subspecies known as mat vetch.

Description

It is a climbing perennial forb that grows from both taproot and rhizome. The leaves are each made up of oblong leaflets and have tendrils for climbing. It bears showy pea like flowers in shades of lavender and fuchsia. The fruit is a hairless flat pod about 3 centimeters long that contains usually two light brown peas. American vetch is widespread across North America.

It is a common understory plant in many types of forest and other habitats such as chaparral and it provides forage for wild and domesticated animals. This vetch is used to reclaim burned or disturbed land, such as that which has been cleared by wildfire or altered by human activities such as mining or construction. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in both dry and moist, and sandy or coarse loamy soil habitats.
