The buildings of Saline are now the oldest witnesses of the industrial style architecture in Halle upon Saale. The earliest buildings were erected from 1719 to 1721. The oldest remaining part of
Tasmanian cushion plants are also often considered "nurse species", as their presence is necessary in order for many other alpine species to become established. Cushion plants have been found to enhance species richness in areas with inherent impoverished local diversity (Cavieres et al. 2014). This effect is due to their low and compact growth form that alleviates severe alpine conditions (Cavieres et al. 2014). Several Tasmanian cushion species have been found to have a surface temperature up to 10 °C greater than the ambient temperatures (Gibson, 1988). The warmer temperatures allow the plants to continue to photosynthesize and grow in conditions that would
