A 150 pounds strength-training athlete may need 109 to 122 grams of protein each day. The amount of protein your body needs to maintain your current lean mass and body weight may vary slightly from these guidelines.
In areas where the climate does not favour a riot of fern growth - and the Canberra Region is a case in point - the niche environments are very clearly marked by the types of fern that grow there. Ferns in fact provide a remarkably good set of ecological indicators. Here are some examples from around Canberra. 1  Asplenium bulbiferum, Mother Spleenwort, grows only near permanent running water, usually in or near waterfalls. The same is true for Hymenophyllum cupressiforme, Filmy Fern. 2  Asplenium trichomanes, the Common Spleenwort, grows only on or near limestone outcrops.
Staghorn ferns grow in the trees of tropical forests. Staghorn ferns (Platycerium bifercatum) do not grow in soil but, rather, attached to another plant, such as a tree, for support. This type of plant is an epiphyte. Epiphytes do not feed on other plants.. Moisten the sphagnum moss with water, and place it about one third of the way up from the bottom of the wooden plank. Place the base of the staghorn fern on the moss.
