Carnivorous plant often waterlogged, which favours the production of toxic ions such as ammonium, and its pH is an acidic 4 to 5. Ammonium can be used as a source of nitrogen by plants, but its high toxicity means that concentrations high enough to fertilise are also high enough to cause damage. However, the habitat is warm, sunny, constantly moist, and the plant experiences relatively little competition from low growing "Sphagnum" moss. Still, carnivores are also found in very atypical habitats. "Drosophyllum lusitanicum" is found around desert edges and "Pinguicula valisneriifolia" on limestone (calcium-rich) cliffs. In all the studied cases, carnivory allows
What Work Is What Work Is What Work Is is a collection of poetry by Philip Levine. The collection has many themes that are representative of Levine's writing including physical labor, class identity, family relationships and personal loss.
