Definition: Forest associated to intermittent water courses, which can be wide (riverine) or narrower and with the canopy meeting over the river (gallery)
Definition: a plant that produces wood as its structural tissue. Wood is a structural cellular adaptation that allows woody plants to grow from above ground stems year after year, thus making some woody plants the largest and tallest terrestrial plants. Wood is usually primarily composed of xylem cells with cell walls made of cellulose and lignin
Definition: In the haploid (gametophyte) lifestage of a moss or fern, the antheridia (male) and archegonia (female) reproductive organs occur on the same individual plant. They may be borne on different shoots (autoicous), on the same shoot but not together in a common structure (paroicous), or together in a common "inflorescence" (synoicous).
