This study explores the design possibilities with knitted architectural textiles subjected to wind. The purpose is investigate how such could be applied alter usual static expression of exterior and urban elements, as facades windbreaks. investigations were made on a manual knitting machine CNC (computer numerically controlled) flat machine. Four techniques - tuck stitch, hanging stitches, fals...

Abstract The historical contribution of agriculture to human-induced climate change is indisputable; the removal natural vegetation and soil cultivation feed growing human population has resulted in a substantial carbon transfer atmosphere. While maintaining their food production capacity, soft fruit systems now have an opportunity utilise recent technology enhance sequestration capacity. We us...

This study was initiated to observe the performance of yuzu (Citrusjunos Sieb. ex Tanaka) fruit trees when affected by a late freezing in 2018 and evaluate recovery frost-damaged during post management under protected cultivation. A—4.9 °C minimum daily temperature 40-day drought occurred dormancy, which then received heavy precipitation between early- mid-March, with 15 m s−1 more than maximum...

In this short review, the current knowledge on the botany, ecology, uses, and medicinal properties of the multipurpose Garcinia subelliptica (Fukugi) is updated. As yet, there are no reviews on this indigenous and heritage coastal tree species of the Ryukyu Islands in Japan, which has ethnocultural, ecological, and pharmacological significance. Planted by the Okinawan people some 300 years ago,...

The success of using Populus and Salix for phytoremediation has prompted further use of leachate as a combination of irrigation and fertilization for the trees. A common protocol for such efforts has been to utilize a limited number of readily-available genotypes with decades of deployment in other applications, such as fiber or windbreaks. However, it may be possible to increase phytoremediati...

Forestry-related technologies (FRTs) are practices to mitigate and ameliorate effects of environmental degradation resulting from agricultural production practices. However, inadequate sources of information on FRTs among farmers limit and hinder farmers’ awareness of such technologies. This study investigated the interrelatedness of information sources and awareness of FRTs in Southwest Nigeri...

The future of biodiversity and ecosystem services hinges on harmonizing agricultural production and conservation, yet there is no planning algorithm for predicting the efficacy of conservation investments in farmland. We present a conservation planning framework for countryside (working agricultural landscapes) that calculates the production and conservation benefits to the current baseline of ...

İç Anadolu kuzey ve güneyinde dağlık arazi arasında bulunmakta olup, deniz etkisine kapalı bölgemizdir. Bölgesi’nde yağışlar çok az (300-350 mm/yıl) yazları sıcak kurak, kışları soğuk kurak olan tipik bir “Bozkır İklimi” etkilidir. Tarih boyunca Hitit’lerden beri yoğun alanı Anadolu’da nüfus yoğunluğu arttıkça orman tahribi de yaygınlaşmıştır. Kurak bölge ormanları kesilmiş, otlaklarda ormanlar...
