Plants particularly at risk from pollution include harebell and bird'sfoot trefoil; the latter supports more invertebrates - 160 - than any other herbaceous plant.

The vegetation mosaic includes a range of mostly herbaceous plant communities, varying based on water depth.

Longleaf pine forests include abundant low herbaceous plant growth and open canopy/space for tortoises eggs to incubate.

Soft, fleshy, herbaceous plants are not always strong enough to support themselves and, once they fall over, they become a meal for slugs.

Herbaceous plants and vegetables such as lettuces, cauliflowers, peas and beans are very vulnerable to drought now.
