What does MESIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Relating to or characterized by a moderate, well-balanced supply of moisture, especially describing a habitat or environment.
Ecologists classify habitats on a scale running from dry, or xeric, to wet, or hydric, and a mesic environment sits between the two, with enough water for a wide range of plant growth but no standing water or waterlogging. Mesic forests and mesic grasslands often support the greatest diversity of plant species precisely because moisture is neither scarce nor excessive. Gardeners sometimes use the same idea on a smaller scale, choosing mesic plants for a bed that is neither a dry rock garden nor a soggy rain garden.
