Landscape Language Substrate (noun) - a surface on which an organism grows Substrates, or the ground surface, in subalpine areas of the park can be rocky or covered in volcanic ash and pumice from past eruptions of Mount Rainier. However, many plants, like these heather colonies on Burroughs Mountain, find ways to root themselves on even the toughest of substrates. In turn, the plants help bind the substrate together and minimize erosion. What are the unusual substrates where have you found plants growing?
