In response to the existing problems, it is proposed that it is necessary to adhere to principles of ecology, adapt to local conditions and plant suitable varieties in accordance with local conditions, develop and use new varieties of wild shade-tolerant lawns and ground cover plants, and strengthen the promotion of the mixed planting model of shade-tolerant lawns and ground cover plants, so as to provide guidance for the better use of shade-tolerant lawns and ground cover under the forest in the West Lake Scenic Area in the future.展开更多

[Method] An introduction trial on 42 varieties with colored foliage was conducted, in which major ornamental characteristics, phenological phases and stress resistance of all the introduced plants with colored foliage were observed and the introduced plants were comprehensively evaluated. [Result] Golden-and Compound-leaved Maple, Red-leaved Sakura, Pink-and Compound-leaved Maple, Amur Maple, Purple-leaved Canadian Redbud with good performance were selected preliminarily, which can be applied for landscape in Zhengzhou area. Among them, Golden- and Compound-leaved Maple, Golden- and Silvery-leaved Maple and Purple-leaved Smoketree can either be planted separately, or in a line as boulevard trees, or in groups as ornamental forest; Red-leaved Sakura, Pink- and Compound-leaved Maple and Purple-leaved Canadian Redbud can be planted in groups or separately in gardens, parks or alongside streets or in front of buildings; Amur Maple with high adaptability is a excellent tree species for afforesting barren mountain. [Conclusion] This study has not only provided new excellent germplasm sources for the landscaping in Zhengzhou area, thus favoring the improvement of local landscaping level, but also provides examples and references for the introduction of plants with colored foliage in the other areas.展开更多

The experiments were conducted in a thermal environment with a temperature range that was slightly uncomfortable. The indoor thermal environment evaluation index ETF was used to measure the effects that brain stimulation of foliage plants have on comprehensive thermal senses. We focus on visual stimulation with foliage plants, and quantitatively measure shifts in thermal senses that affect the body. Thermal environment conditions were established with air temperature in three stages (25℃, 28℃ and 31℃) and the atmosphere was kept homogeneous with wall surface temperature equal to air temperature. The visual stimulations consisted of seven types of office desk image: benjamin, pothos, oxycardium, baby tears, moss ball, cacti, and no plant. At around 27℃ to 29℃ ETF, improvements in thermal sensation, as measured by thermal sensation statements, were shown to have resulted from visual stimulation benefits. Also, at around 26℃ to 29℃ ETF, improvements in comfort were shown, due to visual stimulation benefits as well, in subjects’ comfortable-sensation statements. This benefit was significant when a foliage plant’s green coverage ratio came between 0.75% and 4.67%, the range which does not create an overwhelming feeling from the foliage plant.展开更多

The tested result showed that in different communities of Platycladus orientalis,Osmanthus fragrans, Cedrus deodara, Albizzia julibrissin, Cinnamomum camphora had antibacterial action. The content of pollutant bacteria in the forest atmosphere (1.5~1.8 m above the land) decreased obviously,which amounted to 23.59%~99.78% compared with the control in open area and 10.08%~99.71% compared with the near communities away from {15 m} distance. There was nat antifungal (against mold) effect in general; only two tree communities for Osmanthus fragrans (decreased 40.66% compared with the near 15 m distance) and P.orientalis (decreased 24.73% than in open area) had less antifungal effect. At the same time, the antimicrobial activities were tested by the extractive volatile of foliage for more tree species in lab. The results showed that antibacterial activities to against Staphalococus aureus and Escherichia coli were the highest in P.orientalis , Manglietia yuyuanensis and C.camphora , and higher in Koelreuteria bipinnata, Viburnum macrocephalum, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Eriobotrya japonica, Ginkgo biloba, C.deodara, Magnolia grandiflora, Sabina chinensis. Most of the tree species tested had less antifungal activities against Fusarium graminerum and Glomerella cingulata. While Ginkgo biloba, Cinnamomum camphora, S.chinensis, Elaeocarpus sylvestris and C.deodara had higher antifungal activities against G.cingulata than others. The P.orientalis, C.camphora, S.chinensis Magnolia grandiflor, G.biloba, Acer mono, Acer palmatum had higher antifungal activities against F.graminerum than others.The research results recognized that the suitable cultivated tree species in cities were P.orientalis, C.deodara, C.camphora and M.glyptostroboides.展开更多
