Biodiversity and Human Values

15.9K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

276
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Introduction to Wood01:19

Introduction to Wood

419
Wood, derived from trees, is a versatile and widely used construction material. Trees feature a trunk surrounded by a protective layer of dead bark. Beneath this outer layer lies the living bark, followed by the cambium, and then the sapwood which transitions into heartwood as it matures. At the center of the trunk is the pith. The age of a tree can be discerned by examining its growth rings, which are concentric bands visible in the trunk's cross-section.
The structural integrity of the...

Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores

15.9K
Plants often form mutualistic relationships with soil-dwelling fungi or bacteria to enhance their roots’ nutrient uptake ability. Root-colonizing fungi (e.g., mycorrhizae) increase a plant’s root surface area, which promotes nutrient absorption. While root-colonizing, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., rhizobia) convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), making nitrogen available to plants for various biological functions. For example, nitrogen is essential for the...

The Soil Ecosystem

23.6K
Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Area of Science:

  • Urban Forestry
  • Ecosystem Services Assessment
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • University campuses offer valuable ecosystem services, yet data on Chinese campuses, particularly in Northern China, is scarce.
  • This study addresses the knowledge gap by examining tree ecosystem services within a Chinese university setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the ecological benefits and monetary value of trees on the Shenyang Institute of Technology campus.
  • To provide insights for campus greening managers regarding tree selection and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized i-Tree Streets software to analyze the ecological benefits and monetary value of campus trees.
  • Cataloged tree species, numbers, age structure, and quantified ecosystem services like energy saving, carbon reduction, and air pollutant removal.

Main Results:

  • The campus hosts 5,193 trees of 66 species, dominated by Catalpa ovata, Acer mono, Rhus typhina, and Salix babylonica.
  • Trees provided substantial energy saving ($60,850), carbon reduction ($34,318), and aesthetic ($30,150) benefits.
  • The age structure is skewed towards young trees (71.5%), with a lack of mature and old trees.

Conclusions:

  • Campus trees deliver significant economic and environmental benefits, with mature trees and those possessing larger leaf areas contributing most to ecosystem services.
  • Findings suggest optimizing tree species selection and management for enhanced ecosystem service provision in Chinese university campuses.
