Abstract
Field texture is of essential importance in the development of the mud vegetation of dwarf-plants. Soil consisting of a high proportion of small primary particles is able to store appropriate quantities of water, and transfers water to the plants with difficulty. Thus, the species which have adapted to these conditions have a competitive advantage over concurrent ones. The clay-rich soil hinders the availability of nitrogen. Hence, nitrophilous vegetation does not develop here. Due to the high adsorption capacity of the soil it may contain a large amount of available phosporus and potassium.
The low osmotic activity of the soil is favourable for the development of the mud vegetation of dwarf-plants with a high cover degree.
