La structure végétale d'une forêt se concrétise à la fois dans le sens vertical et sur le plan horizontal. La verticale définit plusieurs niveaux qui correspondent à la stratification des organes assimilateurs, et aussi des organes radiculaires si nous envisageons le profil édaphique. On distingue classiquement : une strate arborescente représentée par les couronnes des arbres; une strate arbustive au niveau des arbustes; une strate herbacée : semis d'arbres et plantes herbeuses en général; une strate muscinale qui vit au ras du sol (mousses). 2, record 2, French, - strate%20herbac%C3%A9e

The tomato is a weak-stemmed herbaceous plant, capable of perennial growth but normally cultivated as an annual. Under natural conditions, it forms a spreading, straggling bush; some modern cultivars, such as "Amateur", can be allowed to grow without support and with a minimum of pruning. The fruits of "bush" tomatoes need protecting from contact with the soil by means of a layer of straw. Most cultivated tomatoes are trained as a single stem up a string or cane and all side shoots are removed soon after they appear. 2, record 4, English, - bush%20tomato
