Produktbeschreibung
Cornwall's mild and warm climate regulated by the Gulf Stream provides rich plant cover, such as palm trees in the far south and west of the county and in the Isles of Scilly, as a result of its sub-tropical climate in the summer. The moors and high ground areas, as a result of the high elevation making tree cover impossible because of the wind, are populated by shrubs and bushes such as Gorse and heather. Ferns, mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi can all be found in the county. In the wettest areas of Bodmin Moor, sphagnum or bog moss can be found. Cornwall contains many rare flower species, especially at the southern end of the Lizard, due to its unique soil and geology. On the peninsula, Cornish heath, mesembryanthemums, butcher's broom, early meadow grass and a wide range of clovers including the lizard clover, brookweed and yellow wallpepper can be found. The north coast features maritime grassland, heathland and stunted woodland.
