gardens - Science topic

This tree of unknown origin grows in the greenhouse of the Lviv University Botanical Garden (Lviv, Ukraine). In the garden’s collection, this plant was initially treated under the name Dracaena umbraculifera Jacq. In 2015, the plant was blooming, and its inflorescence morphology showed that the original identification was wrong. Thus, we would be very grateful if anybody could give us an idea of what this plant is precisely.

Dear Colleagues,

Zoological gardens are public spaces in which animal species from the region, as well as from other parts of the world, are exhibited. Therefore, their main function is to entertain society (according to common sense). The ease of finding many species concentrated in a unique place is ideal for the public who visit, providing moments to enjoy and learn about the importance of ecosystem preservation and involving everyone from children to the elderly.

Nonetheless, zoological gardens may also be established for scientific research or animal recovery, in an attempt to energize activities in this place.

Given the current lack of investment in natural history museums, zoological gardens can be used to create scientific collections, both for research and for exhibiting material to the public, as well as raising environmental awareness regarding the preservation of bio-paleontological material and the material and immaterial heritage of humanity. In this way, zoological gardens could offer a suitable space for establishing scientific collections, fitting into the context of a Natural History Museum exhibiting biological, paleontological, ethnographic, archaeological, mineralogical and artistic collections, for example.

Therefore, in this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that address the following topic: “The Management of Zoological Collections in Zoological Gardens and Museums”.

We acknowledge Ms. Gabrielle Diniz dos Santos's contribution to this Special Issue.

Thank you in advance!

The ever-increasing price of food products purchased by consumers in stores is another argument for buying products directly from a farmer producing real healthy, non-chemical-soaked crops produced according to the formula of sustainable organic farming, bypassing middlemen, commodity logistics centers, processing plants, stores and shopping malls, which sell crops or processed food products many times more expensive compared to the farmer's prices, and/or to set up a fruit and vegetable garden for your own needs and become independent of expensive middlemen and unnecessary costs. With such a solution, the farmer would earn more and the consumer would buy healthy crops much cheaper. Well, but the political pressure for these simple solutions to many problems is not there. Why? Because then the revenue from indirect taxes to the state budget, from VAT would be able to fall significantly, and after all, VAT is still the main source of revenue to the state budget in Poland. Well, such is the tax system we have. And could it be different? It could, but unfortunately it's easier to tax citizens and entities with lower and lowest incomes than those with higher incomes, who often also set up fictitious headquarters in tax havens in order to additionally pay even less taxes into the state's public finance system. Besides, this kind of solution would be good for the climate and the environment for many reasons. Maintaining home vegetable, fruit and flower gardens would save money for citizens, reduce environmental pollution from exhaust fumes emitted by cars transporting agricultural crops from the field to logistics centers, agri-food processing companies and then processed food products delivered to stores, shopping centers in cities, food discounters and hypermarkets. In addition, citizens who run vegetable and fruit gardens to obtain their own vegetable crops, their own vegetables and fruits usually do not use chemical pesticides, so the resulting food is realistically healthier than what is purchased in vegetable stores, discount stores and hypermarkets, where vegetables and fruits and the processed food products made from them go, which were grown in farm fields in a model of intensive, production-intensive, highly exploitative soil, climate and environment unsustainable agriculture formula. On the other hand, in the situation of running subsistence vegetable, fruit and flower gardens without the use of chemical pesticides, in which most or all of the farming and tending work is done by hand, with a high level of biodiversity, taking into account the coexistence in the garden of different species and varieties of crops, vegetables, fruits, flower meadows, shrubs and trees is this type of mini-agriculture, running the said gardens is close to the formula of pro-ecological, pro-climate, pro-environmental sustainable organic agriculture. Occurring in this kind of biodiverse gardens also flower meadows, flowering various species of grasses, perennials, meadow plants, as well as shrubs and trees is very friendly to pollinating insects, including bees, whose population has declined by several tens of percent over the past few decades of time. In addition, in such flower gardens, insect houses are increasingly being built and/or beehives are being erected to ensure the functioning of pollinating insects in the micro-biodiversity ecosystem thus created. On the other hand, in managing even small home vegetable and flower gardens, in their planning and organzation, the new information technology of advanced data processing, including generative artificial intelligence technology, can be of great help.

I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:

I am writing an article for my blog regarding orchid viruses aimed at home gardeners. It will include details of home testing kits their use and accuracy. I also want to include details about whether you have to destroy a plant with a virus. Would anyone like to do an interview with me please? You can see my website here: www.littleflower.business

I have noticed that

Mark Chase

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

United Kingdom

has

Research Interest Score of

36,296

I need to hear all results one obtained in that research. Even negative ones. Unpublished ones and those that didn't make it to the print

Right now I am doing a backyard investigation on the subject to see if there is any effect. I am using maize. Just 12 maize in my small home garden.

It is being documented in Swahili but you can still see the pictures and with help of AI you can translate it via your browsers.

I will appreciate any links and articles to scientific papers on copper bracelets. If any.

You are welcome.

I am wondering what percentage of the total landmass in the EU is considered as domestic/private gardens (with or without allotments/community gardens), but not limited to data solely from allotments? Or what percentage of urban green areas in the European Union is considered as domestic gardens? Could someone provide reliable data on this along with a reference? Many thanks in advance.

In recent years, the establishment of additional urban parks, green areas, flower meadows, botanical gardens, etc., in the areas of urban agglomerations has been growing in importance. The purpose of increasing the scale of green areas in cities while reducing areas of concrete sidewalks and asphalt roadways is to improve living conditions for residents, reduce atmospheric temperatures and increase humidity, which is particularly important during increasingly severe summer heat and dry periods, improve aesthetics and increase the scale of pro-climate land use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, create places for recreation and rest, create conditions that allow pollinating insects, birds and other animals to feed. On the other hand, the scale of establishing home flower gardens, flower and vegetable gardens, vegetable and fruit gardens, etc. is also growing. The functions of home flower gardens, mini botanical gardens are analogous to those described above. However, the purpose of establishing also home vegetable and/or fruit gardens is to create a source of one's own crops, fruits and vegetables, which are usually grown without the use of pesticides and other pesticides and most of the cultivation, gardening, agricultural work is done by hand. As a result, most small-scale home flower, vegetable and/or fruit gardens are run in the formula of sustainable, pro-environmental and pro-climate gardening. In this way, those who run home vegetable and fruit gardens save money by spending less of it on groceries, eat healthier by eating less highly processed and industrially produced food products. Besides, the decreasing scale of citizens' purchases of agricultural crops and food products processed from them in stores, shopping centers, hypermarkets and discount stores generates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions emitted by vehicles transporting the said food products from factories, agro-processing plants to wholesalers, logistics centers and then to the said retail stores. Besides, in connection with the trend towards sustainability, within the framework of creating sustainable gardens, the said gardens are designed to be as naturalistic as possible, highly biodiverse, consisting of different species of meadow flower plants, species of fruit plants, vegetables, shrubs, trees, etc., selecting certain different species of the said plants so that they can coexist with each other. A good solution for running sustainable, pro-environmental and pro-climate gardens is also to create one's own water source, i.e. by building deep water wells and creating retention systems and ministaves to catch and collect rainwater. A good solution to increase the scale of biodiversity, humidity and improve aesthetic value is the creation of byways, ministaws, water reservoirs, where specially selected species and varieties of aquatic plants, fish and other pond animals exist. In addition, in order to increase the ecological security of flower pollination, a good solution is to establish a small apiary, adapted to the size of the local garden and/or nearby other gardens and green areas, where populations, honeybee colonies will exist. The design of this kind of nice, highly biodiverse flower garden containing zones of shrubs, trees, vegetable and fruit crops, as well as ponds, naturalized rest zones, etc., requires the application of a great deal of time and knowledge in the fields of horticulture, crop cultivation, landscaping design, plant biology, ecology of ecosystems composed of coexisting multiple plant species, but also animals such as specific species of fish and other pond animals. In addition, in this kind of multifunctional, biodiverse garden, an important role can be played by a composter which will be an important element of sustainability and closed-loop economy, reduction of post-horticultural, agricultural and other organic waste. Therefore, new ICT information technologies, knowledge resources available on the Internet and their multi-criteria and intelligent processing implemented with the help of generative artificial intelligence may prove helpful in this kind of design, in which it is necessary to take into account many different conditions of the specific location of the planned garden, specific terrain, local climate, etc., and the various determinants mentioned above.

Is it possible to hypothesize the existence of a universe governed by supersymmetric natural laws that existed before the Big Bang (Garden of Eden)? Is it possible to believe that the Big Bang occurred due to the breaking of this pre-existing supersymmetry (a consequence of original sin)? It is possible that man (Adam and Eve) was present in the primordial universe (Garden of Eden) before the Big Bang, and that he reappeared on earth at the end of a long evolutionary process ,after the formation of the solar system in the current universe, born from the Big Bang (concordance between sacred scriptures and Darwinian evolution theory, meaning of the Divine commandment "Grow and multiply")? My answer "IS YES". In answering this question, the titles of the last chapters of a book by a famous Italian epistemologist (L. Geymonat) come to mind: "Science and Reality, Science and Truth, Science and Conception of the World".

I am researching on Heron's musical garden. I found about history related to that. But I didn't get detail information. I attached picture which related to topic.

Japanese zen gardens are a part of a traditional aspect, but currently we can see these gardens not only in Japan but also around the world. So that raises my questions, what significance these hold in the current world of modern and contemporary architecture.

Attached a few photographs of a plant from Labagh botanic garden for identification.

Dear friends,

I really want to know the rules and regulations following for posting scientist B (reserved for ETB/SC) in Kerala. Kindly help me

Based on notification No.MBGIPS/03/2022-A1 dated 27.04.2023, I applied for the post of Junior Scientist, Scientist-B, SB/04/2022 in Biodiversity / Ecology. In the notification, the reservation for any scientist posts was not mentioned. In the application, I did mention My caste as well as religion (application No 69). After the screening, I was selected for the interview and attended the interview on 21st February 2023.

As per the rank list published for the scientist B post on 07.06.2023, the post in Biodiversity / Ecology is reserved for ETB. I am a candidate in the Thiyya category who attended the interview but was not included in the list. During the enquiry, staff of Malabar botanical garden pointed out that I was not there in the first 4 ranks and the first 4 candidates also did not belong to ETB category and thus they have not even published the list. Moreover, it was noticed that the other branches of KSCSTE, like CWRDM published a separate list for the EBT and SC categories, but Malabar botanical garden failed to do it. So kindly mention the rules and regulations have to opt the candidates for the post of Scientist B

I was interested in exploring the perceived benefits of gardening in an urban setting, so I conducted interviews with gardeners. Subsequently, I employed thematic analysis to identify the main themes related to these perceived benefits. It was only after the emergence of these themes that I delved into various theories to aid in the interpretation and understanding of the results in the Discussion chapter.

My question is, should I discuss these theories in the Introduction chapter of the paper?

Recently, many heteropteran insects (stink bugs in particular) have appeared in Romania (in agricultural crops, forests, gardens, parks, green spaces), both as species (some new) and numerically. I don't understand what would be the cause, the warmer weather, the intensification of transports? I'm not clear?

What are the most important factors to consider when designing a garden or landscape in horticulture?

A house located in a city centre with a large garden that is full of all types of spiders of all colors brown, bland, black, brown, green yellow .... very large Small and medium .. I have 2 questions please:

-- first how all these guys can come to this garden (knowing it was empty for 10 years). --- secondly how we can eliminate these spiders because it comes home especially in the period from the end of August until the month of September.

how those insects manage to get inside the fruit during the ripening stage .

I'm working on confocal imaging of attine ants fungus gardens, which are sponge-like fungal structures containing fragmented plant material and an associated bacterial microbiota. To look into the fungus gardens structure, we are attempting to embedd the structure and to use the microtome to get longitudinal sections.

Our first attempt using Leica Historesin did not render good results for FISH. Does anyone know a better method that could render good quality FISH results?

Thanks

Given the ongoing climate change, including global warming, air pollution, limited areas of urban parks and other green spaces, gardens, flower meadows established on the roofs of buildings in cities can significantly increase the areas of urban green space. When urban green areas are significantly expanded, the biodiversity of natural ecosystems in cities can also increase significantly. In addition, additional green areas can have a positive impact on the air quality of cities. Air quality is not only a question of pollution levels, but also humidity levels and summer temperatures. Additional green spaces can play an important role in the rest and recuperation of residents, which can translate into improved health for people living in the city. Additional green areas, including gardens and flower meadows, also mean more foraging areas for insects, including pollinating insects, whose numbers are rapidly declining due to the over-chemicalisation of agriculture. Besides, additional green areas in cities can increase the level of sustainability in terms of sustainable development, green building and environmentally and climatically sustainable urban agglomerations.

In view of the above, I would like to address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What is your opinion on this topic?

For example, "when mom dressed the baby spit on the bed", is the misunderstanding of this garden path sentence resulted from semantics?

This is a picture of an infected pistachio tree of a pistachio garden in Iran. There is the suspicion of infection by root knot nematodes. In each row some trees are infected. I would be grateful if any researchers can give me advice on that.

I came across what appeared to be a large group of winged garden ants and I've included a video of the aforementioned behavior. Is this lekking?

After electrolysis (iron (+) and graphite (-) electrodes were used; electrolysis duration 5 hours) of suspensions of different soils, I obtained the following Ph values:

HC (humus soil): 10.99

DVT (garden soil): 8,15

TLV (garden soil): 5,68

JPG (forest soil - 100 meters from the karst cave): 6,13

JPZ (forest soil - 200 meters from karst cave): 10,55

SP (soil close to river - 5 meters): 10,65

SPJ (soil close to lake - distance 2 meters): 10,44

Are high Ph after electrolysis related to the presence of potassium, sodium and carbonate ions? With universal ph paper, these Ph values are around 7 to 8. Before electrolysis, ph was also measured directly with an electrode, in suspension and the filtrate, but never so high. These were mostly normal Ph's, especially with the direct measurement method.

Due to snails and slugs my crops are damaged several, can anyone suggest me how to control them effectively.

In the context of ongoing climate change, the ongoing process of global warming, environmental pollution, the health of people living in the city, urban parks and other green spaces have a very important role. Studies show that urban green areas also play an important role in the number of bees and other pollinating insects, in reducing the extinction of these insects that are important for agricultural crop production. Many bees and other pollinating insects die in agricultural fields where too many pesticides and other crop protection chemicals are used. Urban parks, urban gardens and other green areas play an important role in protecting the status of bee populations. Besides, green areas, urban parks significantly reduce the air temperature in summer during hot weather. This makes the air quality better, the temperature lower during hot weather, the air more humid and cleaner. Urban parks and gardens therefore play a key role in terms of shaping the biodiversity level of natural ecosystems of green areas in cities, in conurbations and also in large metropolitan areas. Unfortunately, in some cities, the trend of so-called concreting instead of afforestation still prevails. This has continued to be the case over the last decade or so in the country in which I operate. It is only recently that the local authorities of some cities have started to pay attention to these issues. In order to reduce the scale of the summer drought in cities, they began to reduce the scale and frequency of lawn mowing and in city parks. Flower meadows have finally been created instead of mowing lawns. Bird nesting boxes and insect houses began to be erected in city parks. In some cities, areas of concrete pavements that were too large began to be dismantled and green belts increased, etc. Finally, after many years of appeals to city authorities by ecologists, naturalists, biologists, but also citizens of many other professional specialisations, environmentally and climate-conscious city dwellers, something has started to happen in terms of protecting the biodiversity of natural ecosystems in urban green areas and also increasing green areas in cities and urban metropolises. Rainwater catchment systems are being set up in urban housing estates. Rainwater and/or water from sewage treatment plants is used to water urban lawns, flower meadows, urban parks and other green areas in cities. There is a return of moa to the establishment of home gardens, with residents creating flower gardens but also vegetable and fruit gardens. Nowadays, rising food prices and the developing energy and food crisis can reinforce these positive trends. In addition, more and more environmentally and climate-conscious city dwellers are cycling instead of using combustion cars. There are more and more positive developments. But these are only the beginnings of the above mentioned positive, pro-environmental and pro-climate changes.

In view of the above I address the following questions to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

We are training home gardeners to identify possible cucumber and chayote mosaic viruses and would like protocols that were successfully used in the field.

What’s the general idea of the best approach of non-formal education institutions, such as science museums and botanical gardens?

the interdisciplinary approach or the transdisciplinary approach?

In the region where you live, do local government authorities run an active pro-ecological policy?

Is sorting of waste required?

Are subsidies granted for the development of household mini-power plants based on renewable energy sources, for example for photovoltaic panel installations?

Are charging stations for electric cars installed in the surrounding streets?

Do people have the opportunity to run home gardens where they cultivate organic crops?

Are there paper packaging in the surrounding stores besides plastic packaging?

Are unmerged flower meadows maintained on housing estates and parks?

Are there houses for insects and birds in nearby parks?

What other pro-ecological activities, ventures are carried out in the region where you live?

Please reply

I am trying to calculate bacterial diversity in vermicompost generated from Eisenia fetida mediated vermicomposting of garden waste. How can I do this?

I want to measure the ratio of open spaces such as parks and gardens to the number of children in a city.

There are quite a few parks in the city, and their width and fun park vehicles are also very few.

However, my understatement is not based on a scale. I want to compare it with other cities and reach a conclusion based on the number of children in the available park areas. I need sample research and scales on this subject. I would also like to benefit from studies evaluating the subject in terms of city planning approaches.

Thank you for all the help.

I am focusing on researches dealing with evaluation of the soil biodiversity associated with tea orchards, in which the pH of soil is very low ranging between 3 and 4. Regarding this, any opinions can give us suggestions in improving the quality of these acid soils of tea gardens by applying biochar in order not to lose its biodiversity.

Though the earthworms are known to improve the soil fertility and physical properties that also help in making soil porous and higher yields. But, excessive earthworms especially in kitchen garden causes loss to the vegetable seedlings and other kitchen garden crops. Kindly suggest any organic or non-chemical way to control excessive earthworms in the kitchen garden or cultivable land.

This is in relation to manage stormwater pollution.

Ecopedagogy is not just the knowledge, it is also a value and behavior - you live it. Habits formed at earlier stage of our lives. So, it is imperative that we introduce ecology as early in someone's life as possible. How early can you do this? Further more, if you introduced 'food garden' it has multiple benefits: it integrates knowledge from many domains, it let's you experience nature as a system as well as helping realize many pedagogical objectives such as promoting attention, creativity, patience and perhaps even multilateral thinking. It also fosters global citizenship. Knowledge in growing things is also a 'preparedness' to catastrophes to minimize their impact. In that sense, its an existential skill for survival. Agricultural literacy is shrinking every day. You can do this much better when they are small as they are also in close proximity to the soil. If they are exposed to diverse crops involved in growing, they are most likely to have diverse diet than those who are not - studies and experience backs up. Then what's the early ecopedagogy is like? Most importantly are there any negative side affects of it, if at all?

I collected it from my home garden.

Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighting of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant, or interaction with neutrons, as a proxy for the moisture content.

The relation between the measured property and soil moisture must be calibrated and may vary depending on environmental factors such as soil type, temperature, or electric conductivity. Reflected microwave radiation is affected by the soil moisture and is used for remote sensingin hydrology and agriculture. Portable probe instruments can be used by farmers or gardeners.

Soil moisture sensors typically refer to sensors that estimate volumetric water content. Another class of sensors measure another property of moisture in soils called water potential; these sensors are usually referred to as soil water potential sensors and include tensiometers and gypsum blocks.

I am exploring if teacher students usually design field trips during their upper formation. Field trips or outdoor education can be excursions, visits to museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, etc...

I foraged about Bug Hotel efficiency for insect conservation as it seem to be consensual among gardeners, teachers and other people who want to quickly build something visible for local biodiversity (and indeed positive results are often visible).

However

Do you know any controversies (attract pest, favoring inhabiting predators eating the neighbors species, etc.).

Or no discussion: BUG HOTELS ARE GOOD TOOLS in any cases...?

Hi everyone,

I am a final year, undergraduate student studying at the University of Brighton and currently undergoing my final year project. 

My project is on "supplementary feeding and garden bird health" and I am looking for people ages 18 or over, within the UK, to complete my survey. My survey is looking to compare the feeding practices and attitudes towards garden bird health between people who feed birds and those who do not feed birds.

It should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete and I would be hugely grateful for your time taken to complete my survey. 

The link to my survey is https://brighton.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/supplementary-feeding-and-garden-bird-health

Please feel free to leave any questions in the discussion below.

Thank you!

In order to carry out sustainable agriculture in arid regions, it is necessary to use water efficiently, use water-saving agro-technologies. One of the water-saving agro-technologies in agriculture is mulching. A large amount of water can be saved by setting up a garden using mulching. In arid hilly regions of Uzbekistan (average annual rainfall is 200-300 mm, evaporation is more than 1000 mm) experiments were carried out to establish a garden using mulching. According to the results of the experiment, several fruit trees were harvested without irrigation. It was found that it is more cost-effective to establish a garden of apple, apricot, peach, quince and almond trees using mulching.

If a plant does not grow, it should not not be blamed. One may not watering it properly and regularly or even keeping away from Sunshine. Similarly, if research is not published in top ranking Journals, one should not blame oneself rather one needs to introspect whether the manuscript is stuffed with relevant review, method, authentic data and robust findings along with implications or not. Indeed, one must read and understand the published papers in the Journals one aspiring for. If one follows this, then see how the flowers grow in the research garden and spread the fragrance of knowledge around the Globe.

Sincerely Yours

Permaculture is concept in many east or south east Asian countries besides Africa and latin America. It may be pronounce by different name but core hypothesis is based on closed canopy integration through permannent culture in vertical and horizontal spatial arrangement to increase the productivity of the forest area. Though home garden or homestaed concept is also close to permculture but there we do regular cropping in lower strata seasonally with commercial agriculture crops.I am in search of any such studies or examples are in India or Bundelkhand in specific.

I need albedo of zinnia to calculate ET.

What would be the best ways to control the psychological disorders among the animals kept in the zoological gardens?

Of this type of centipede (two centimeters long) there are many in my garden, located at 2,350 meters above sea level in the Andes of northern Peru (Chachapoyas, Amazonas department). Any idea to which family and genus it belong and if it’s dangerous for toddlers?

This liana grows in the greenhouse of O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). The plant has been introduced from Botanical Garden in Batumi (Georgia), where it was also undetermined.

Many thanks in advance.

The massive epizootics caused by this fungus in the leaf-cutting ant, was observed to have a 100% rate of mortality, where the entire population (gardeners, workers and soldiers) were expelled from the nest.

Please give useful information and opinion about Home garden and its importances in food security.

Before, I used the soil from tea garden but it didn't yield significant results as the plants started losing leaves and ultimately they died after one month. Can vermiculite be used as the growing media for the nitrogen treatments or will it be the worst? Thanks

I am doing a thesis about Taoism in Chinese garden. The topic is

"Exploration of Taoism and its Aesthetics in Chinese Garden; Reflection on its Application to Landscape Design in Modern Society."

I summarised three Taoist aesthetic principles from three notions of Taoism:

- Naturalness is Beauty 

- Beauty of Emptiness and Tranquility 

- Big and Small 

But I do not know how to evaluate these garden design principles. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

How to validate the assignment of scientific names of plant specimens (to be accepted for publication, of course) without having comparative data in a herbarium or botanical garden (voucher numbre)?

I am working on a project that includes the collection of information about plants, but the comparison with herbariums or botanic gardens for the validation of the name was not carried out (nor is it possible to perform it at the moment or after). However, in the future I am interested in publishing this information, how can I support the assignment of the scientific names of these plants?

Thank you
