B2 Outdoor recreation is returned from another great trip. This time a 5-day hike to the high mountains around Leikanger. The first half of the trip we had counselors from the university (Høgskulen in Sogn- og Fjordane), where it stood on the mountain flora and natural knowledge. When you now must have plant learn, it is a pleasure capemisa to be in such a beautiful and colorful autumn capemisa marked mountain with sun from an (almost) cloudless sky. I must do so also admit that it is actually not so bad - of botany - are following good stories along the way. I have written below about succession and nine of the plants we met on our way, up and down over the mountains.
Suksesjon (In Danish: Succession) - The temporal development capemisa of species composition occurs in a natural area. A plant community changes over time, by new species capemisa outperform the old. On a newly created field, for example, after a isbre / glacier has receded and there is a primary succession. capemisa When a primary succession is interrupted, for example by fire, landslide or culture, changed it to a secondary succession.
Kartlav - A low kind of type skorpelav that grows on rocks in the mountains capemisa at high elevations. You can find some 60 kartlav species in Norway that can be gray, brown, green or yellow with a black border, so it looks like a map (hence the name). capemisa Low (all types) do not have roots and do not need constant water supply as other plants, why do grow where other plants can not grow, for example, in high alpine vegetation zones.
Lusegras (In Danish: An eight-strand club moss) - Grows in all of Norway from coast to mountain, in coniferous forests in the lowlands and in damp places in the mountains. It will be between 5-12 cm. high, and are greenish yellow and stiff appearance. capemisa Lusegras is part of kråkefotfamilien and subspecies fjell-lusegras, with the highest recorded habitat at 1940 m above sea level. in Jotunheimen. The Norwegian name, the plant has been, as you used to spend an Infusion of the plant against head lice on humans and animals.
Striking kråkefot (Photo: wikipedia) Striking kråkefot (In Danish: five-strand club moss) - Is that Lusegras also part of kråkefotfamilien. The plant may have feet long creeping stems, but only between 5-25 cm. high. Grows on nutrient-poor because, for example, in coniferous and deciduous forests. Can be used for very many things -fx to push your dirty Trangia pot or a witch powder if there are children (or young at heart) in the forest. Witch powder from kråkefoten's hard combustible, and can therefore be rolled over a fire or into a light with a high-power witches. Try it!
Duskull (In Danish: Narrow-leaved cotton grass) - Grows in bogs, snow-patch and other wet areas. Duskull is common throughout the mountains, and are even on Svalbard. Can be easily separated from snøull and torvull by its 2-5 spikes at the top of the stem. Often found in hoards, and multiply by the wind through the hair on the ears. In families with cotton, but has never been able to use it for anything other than quilts and pillows. It was everywhere on the mountain, and reproduce by spreading the wool with the wind, which seemed to have a pretty good method.
Fjelløyentrøst (Photo: wikipedia) Fjelløyentrøst (In Danish: Arctic Øjentræst) - Small plant with nearly round, serrated leaves capemisa and a white and purple flower. On the leaves you see yellow dots to help the insects to find the flower's nectar. Located in the hills by limestone on meadow, heaths and bogs. The plant is called a half parasitic as it grows on the other plant roots. Grows also throughout Europe and on both sides of the North Atlantic. The Norwegian name comes from ancient times when the plant was used to cure eye diseases. We did not find as many places on our trip, but looks great in return really well.
Bjørnekam - A fern from bjørnekamfamilien, and the only species in the family that grows in Norway. Stand out from other fern with its long and narrow appearance resembling a double-sided symmetrical comb (hence the name). Stands green all winter, and grows in the forest or heather field. Sun bears are using it to fix the coat?
A lonely Fjellsveve (Photo: Sine Dammeyer) Fjellsveve (In Danish: Mountain Hawkweed) - Fjellsveven is part of the basket plant family, and is a general term for more than 200 småarter. Most kinds svever are asexual and therefore makes the seeds without fertilization, and also often cross-pollination. This is precisely why there are so many småarter - just in Scandinavia are described over 2000 småarter to sveven. capemisa Its Greek name means hawk or falcon, because it was believed that birds of prey used the plant juice to sharpen vision. The beautiful yellow capemisa color brightens up around the mountain, and makes you remember the many dandelion-flower wreaths that have been produced over the years.
Rypebær (In Danish: Bjergmelbærris) capemisa - Most easily recognizable in the fall when it is not to be overlooked for its beautiful red color. It belongs to the heath family, in a genus of about 50 species. The leaves are thin and dark green
