Permanent vegetative cover (Habitat 🌄)
Permanent vegetative cover refers to trees, perennial bunchgrasses and grasslands, legumes, and shrubs with an expected life span of at least 5 years. In the United States, permanent cover is required on cropland entered into the Conservation Reserve Program.

I'm catching up on this exciting botanical news from earlier in the week. A population of NZ wood rose, Te pua o te Rēinga, has been found in the Wellington region!! It was last seen there in 1914.
This is a wholly parasitic plant that lives underground attached to tree roots. It emerges above ground only to flower, where it is known to be pollinated by kākāpō (though not anymore as the last kākāpō are mostly on offshore island sanctuaries) and short-tailed bats (NZ's deeply endemic mostly ground-dwelling bat that's rare and declining).
It's a weird plant with weird associates.
