The Murophyte

Abstract

Murophytes are the plants growing over the buildings, walls and roofs. Plants can live in aquatic, terrestrial and organic environments. Their growth in these environments is influenced by many parameters, which regulate the morphological features of the plants. It is not only the morphological features, but the presence of a specific group of plants is also regulated. There are habitats in which the extreme condition leads to the selection of species with morphological and physiological adaptations enabling them to service. Walls constitute a specialized microhabitat; since they are built by man they are restricted to inhabited areas. Mural flora developed in historical periods in which civilized man constructed buildings. The oldest walls or those most characteristically covered in vegetation.
