I was just wondering this since I live in a swamp like area. Could anyone specify and maybe even provide links to some ferns growing in humidity? Be a huge benifit to me.

Yes humidity does affect the growth of plants but the effect is greater in conditions of low humidity (dry). When it is dry many plants will minimise opening of their stomata to reduce water loss this also has the effect of slowing gas exchange. Plants need to take in CO2 for photosynthesis, if the stomata are closed this decreses the rate of photosynthesis and therefore the plant has less sugars created. When the plant has less sugars (food) it can't grow as much.
Swamps can have the effect of flooding the root systems of plants so they don't work properly. There are specially adapted plants that can survive in swamps, most can't.
Hope this helps

Water = Growth, No water = Dead plant

humidity affects transpiration (loss of water in vapour form).more the humidity less the transpiration. ferns grow better in moist cold and shady areas.

yes,with densed humidity.plant gets less sunlight n co2 which is soluble in h2o.so this w'd affect the growth of plant to a certain extend,normally a stunted growth.

humidity affect plants very well because it is very essential for their growth
