	NCDFR - WWW, Herbaceous Plants for Wildlife
		Herbaceous plants are typically sun- loving, non-woody plants that occupy fields, road-sides and clearings.
		Natural and cultivated herbaceous plants are valuable sources of food (plant and insect) and cover for many wildlife species.
		The objective is to have herbaceous cover in the center strip or the travel portion of a road, and allow the daylighted edges to resprout to a shrubby or brushy stage.

	VDGIF > Wildlife > Habitat Partners > Farm Habitat > Creating Herbaceous Woodland Openings to Improve ...
		The addition or maintenance of herbaceous plants is most important where extensive acreage of mature timber or rapidly growing young forests have largely eliminated this type of cover.
		Herbaceous cover maintained in the form of strips is most accessible to wildlife and will continue to serve as access for logging, recreation, or fire breaks for controlled burning.
		Having herbaceous cover in the center of a strip, or the travel portion of a road, and allowing the daylighted edges to grow back naturally in a shrubby or brushy stage is ideal.

	General Maintenance of Herbaceous Ornamentals, HYG-1236-98
		A "perennial" is a plant that is winter hardy and reappears year after year from its crown and root system.
		Light exposure is critical for plant growth and bloom.
		Planting depth should be the same as container depth or to soil line on bare root plants; don't bury the crowns.

		Understanding a plant's requirements for healthy growth - soil type, water, light, and nutrients - as well as its resiliency to cold and heat is the first step in creating landscapes and gardens that are functional and maintainable.
		Some bulbs are tender bulbs and must be planted each spring, bloom in the summer, and then are dug each fall and stored indoors.
		Hardy bulbs are planted each fall, bloom in the spring, and can withstand the cold winter temperatures in the soil.

	Garden Botany
		Plants are grouped together according to their form or function in a variety of ways.
		Geophyte: Perennial (or biennial) herbaceous plant in which the stems die back to a remnant shoot system with storage organs that are imbedded in the soil.
		The world's smallest plant is water meal (Wolffia globosa), a floating aquatic herb which, when mature, is not much larger than the period at the end of this sentence.

	EcoWorld - Plants
		Plants are a diverse population of about 260,000 known species of mosses, liverworts, ferns, herbaceous plants, woody plants, bushes, vines, trees, and various other forms including those found in fresh water and in the oceans.
		Plants range in size from tiny, nonvascular mosses, to the giant sequoia trees, which draw water and nutrients up through their vascular systems to elevations of more than 100 m (330 ft).
		Plants are the foundation for most ecosystem food chains and without them, not only would many of Earth's inhabitants perish, but the Earth itself would suffer.

	Genetic Improvement of Switchgrass and Other Herbaceous Plants for Use as Biomass Fuel Feedstock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Much of the research on the genetic modification of herbaceous plant cell walls has been conducted to improve the utilization of forages by ruminant livestock including beef and dairy cattle and sheep.
		Herbaceous plants are likely going to be modified to produce bio-products such as biodegradable plastics and vaccines.
		These enzyme producing biomass plants must be capable of high levels of protein production, such as alfalfa, and could be directly combined with specialized biofuels species, such as switchgrass, during conversion or used as a source for enzyme extraction.

		We grow a range of these hardy border plants in small successive batches; this means that the range we have on sale is constantly changing as one variety sells out to be replaced by another.
		The majority of plants on sale are likely to be the larger £1.28 size as most varieties grow on better in that size of container.
		Good drainage is essential for most herbaceous plants, the main danger being waterlogging during the winter and spring months (we do have some varieties which actually like moist soil).

	Poisonous Plants
		Identifying plants that are poisonous is difficult since poisonous plants do not appear distinctly different from their nontoxic relatives or counterparts.
		The situation of plant poisoning of children is quite different than with adults since children have great curiosity and will often chew on anything within their reach, especially attractive berries or fruit.
		However, it is difficult to categorize plants with regard to their toxicity since this varies with the age of the victim (directly related to body weight) as well as other factors that influence levels of toxic principles in plants such as environment and stage of plant growth.

		"We wanted to know if woody and herbaceous plants evolved different genes that account for their diversity, or if they use the same genes in different ways," said Sederoff.
		Sederoff says the genetic similarity between these two types of plants, despite 300 million years of evolution and adaptation, means that herbaceous plants have the genetic potential to produce wood and that woody plants could be engineered to contain favorable characteristics of herbaceous plants.
		And as far as growing wood from enlarged, herbaceous plants is concerned, Sederoff says he and his colleagues are already doing this in the lab.
