CONT

For out-planting, the paperpot system offers two planting tools, the Potti-putki, or pot tube, and the "motor mole". The Potti-putki is a hollow planting tool with moveable jaws. The operator dibbles the jaws into the ground and after opening a cavity with the foot pedal, he drops plant and container through the tube into the ground.

Record 2 2004-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paleontology
CONT

Sclerites are calcareous bodies of diverse shape and form. They are highly modified paedomorphic structures, comparable in the adult holothurian to the larval spicules of its presumably fully plated ancestors. Nevertheless, they are of functional as well as phyletic importance. Some sclerites serve to reinforce the body wall, preventing its collapse,... Curved rods surround the podia, overlapping to construct a flexible but semirigid appendage, and a sieve plate at the end of each tube foot supports its suction disk.... A holothurian may have a single kind of sclerite or none, but an association of several types is usual.
