Ancient woodland indicators
{"Image DocumentName": "Ancient woodland indicators", "Image ImageDescription": "These are organisms which are highly adapted to the stable, predictable cycle of conditions in woods but which are poor at long-range colonisation. They include insects, fungi and lichens, but the easiest group to learn are the vascular plants. Ancient woodland indicator plants are typically vernal species \u2013 flowering in spring just as the leaf canopy starts to cast shade. They often reproduce clonally in preference to sexually \u2013 creeping sideways rather than dispersing seed on the wind.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
