Generally speaking, there was a more limited range of woody species at the degraded sites with forest species reduced to a few remaining clumps.
A number of herbaceous and woody weeds were also present.
Holly seeds have a woody cover and an underdeveloped embryo.
Recalcitrance was further associated with large-seededness, the woody habit and tropical habitat, also considered as ancestral character states in the dicotyledons.
I report here a preliminary survey of the major flower visitors and probable pollinators of 83 common woody species of shrubland and secondary forest.
Neither tree density nor diversity of woody species affected the spatial patterns of damage or severe damage.
Symbols at each site represent the direction of woody vegetation canopy cover change, 1948-1993/7.
Moreover, the close proximity of any resprouting stems to the woody fuel from neighbouring dead stems may make them especially vulnerable to future fires.
Probably more important than direct water stress are the extensive fires occurring under drought conditions, which cause large-scale replacement of woody vegetation by grasslands.
Moreover, what we know about the resilience of plant species to hurricane damage is limited to woody species with herbaceous species receiving little attention.
During the censuses all free-standing, woody stems with a diameter at breast height (dbh) 1 cm were identified, tagged, mapped and their diameter recorded.
The sturdy and woody and interlocking stems and branches of the plants held the leaves from being blown off by the strong dry season wind.
In simultaneous agroforestry systems, woody perennials are spatially mixed with agricultural crops so that both components share a common pool of above- and below-ground resources.

Woody plant debris is also found on these surfaces.
Plant fragments range in size from less than 1 mm diameter to larger woody fragments greater than 10 mm in principal dimensions.
The mulch fraction included all dead plant residues on the soil surface, excluding residues of woody plants.
The importance of woody species, however, increased as forests became older.
Recalcitrance was further associated with large-seededness, the woody habit and tropical habitat, also considered ancestral character states in the dicotyledons.
In contrast, the 1999 samples yielded a larger number of woody species.
Firstly, we aimed at assessing the effects of 3 woody plant extracts, which are usually browsed by goats.
The results suggest that fire protection favoured the woody layer, reducing mortality and offering conditions for fire-sensitive species to develop.
As the area of the island increased, the number and proportion of woody species also rose.
Both woody and herbaceous plant species were recorded and cover/abundance values were measured.
Half of the collectors were located under the intact canopy, and half beneath the canopy where dead woody material was removed for dead phytomass determinations.
