Mechanical and anatomical adaptations in terrestrial and aquatic buttercups to their respective environments

The mechanical adaptations of the stems of four species of Ranunculus to their respective environments were studied by combining tensile, bending and flow-tunnel tests, with anatomical observation. Stems of the two terrestrial species, R. acris and R. repens, had high values for rigidity, EI, becaus...
