Isithombe: Izihlahla ze-European Beech

Kule ndawo enokuthula, isihlahla esihle sezihlahla ze-beech zase-Europe ezivuthiwe (Fagus sylvatica) siyala ukunakwa ngobukhosi obuthule obusekela futhi buphakamisa. Iziqu zazo ezibushelelezi, ezimpunga ngokusasiliva ziphakama ngokuqina okuhle, azinawo ukwakheka okumangelengele okuphawula ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane eziningi. Amagxolo, aphaphathekile futhi angenasici, anekhwalithi ecishe ibe nemifanekiso, ebamba ukukhanya ngama-gradients acashile athuthukisa isimo sawo esithambile. Isiqu ngasinye sivutha kamnandi phansi, lapho izimpande eziqinile, ezisobala zigxilisa isihlahla emhlabathini, amajika aso asikisela kokubili ukuzinza nokukhuthazela. Lezi zimpande ezivuthayo zinikeza umuzwa owengeziwe wokuhlala unomphela, njengokungathi izihlahla ziye zahlala kule ndawo izizukulwane ngezizukulwane futhi zisazohlala kwezinye eziningi.

Ngenhla, ama-canopies anwebekayo asabalele ngaphandle ngokulingana okuphelele, amagatsha awo aminyene asekela umugqa ominyene wamaqabunga abanzi, aqhakazile. Amahlamvu akha usilingi oqhubekayo wohlaza olugeza indawo ekukhanyeni okudabulile, ehlunga ilanga libe amaphethini athambile adlala otshanini obunakiwe. Lo mphumela we-canopy udala umuzwa wokuba ngaphakathi kwesonto lombhishobhi lemvelo, uphahla lwalo oluphakeme oluphakeme olungelona lwetshe kodwa lwamahlamvu aphilayo, olunyakaza kancane emoyeni. Ukulinganisa kanye nesigqi sezihlahla, ezihlukaniswe ngokulinganayo endaweni yonke, kukhulisa lo mbono wokuhleleka nomusa, njengokungathi isihlahla ngokwaso sasiklanyelwe ukumema ukuzindla kanye nokuphumula.

Utshani obuluhlaza obuluhlaza ngaphansi kwezihlahla bunezela emuzweni wokuzola, umkhathi waso obushelelezi unikeza isiteji esihle lapho ama-beeches ame khona. Utshani obuthambile buphambene nokuba khona okuyalayo kweziqu, kunikeza kokubili umbala nokuthungwa ekubunjweni. Emaphethelweni, izihlahla ezikude kanye nohlaza oluxubile kuthambisa umkhathizwe, amathoni azo athulisiwe anikeza ukujula ngaphandle kokuphazamisa idrama emaphakathi ye-beech grove. Kwezinye izindawo, ukusikisela kwezinye izimila kunezela ukuhlukahluka okucashile—amabala aluhlaza okumnyama, noma ukusikisela okuncane kwamathoni afudumele—kodwa indawo isabuswa ubukhona obuhlanganisayo bamabhishi ngokwawo.

Okwenza i-beech yaseYurophu ithandeke kakhulu kuzo zombili izindawo zemvelo nezingadi eziklanyelwe inhlanganisela yayo emangalisayo yamandla nokucwengwa. Lezi zihlahla ziyayala ngaso leso sikhathi futhi ziyangeneka: usayizi wazo kanye nesimo sazo ziboleka ubuhle, kuyilapho amagxolo azo abushelelezi kanye ne-canopy enomusa kumema ukuthintwa nokutuswa. Ehlobo, njengoba kuboniswe lapha, banikeza umthunzi ojulile, opholile, oguqula izindawo ezivulekile zibe izindawo zokunethezeka. Ekwindla, wona lawo amaqabunga aluhlaza manje aphenduka abe imibala ecebile yethusi, inhlaka, negolide, adala uhlobo olusha ngokuphelele lobuhle. Ngisho nasebusika, lapho umbhede ungenalutho, ukwakheka okuhle kwamagatsha nokushelela kweziqu kuqinisekisa ukuthi isihlahla sihlala sikhona endaweni.

Lesi sigameko sithwebula ukukhanga okungapheli kwesihlahla se-beech ngokugcwala kwaso kwasehlobo. Ukuhlukana phakathi kweziqu kusikisela ukuhlela ngokucophelela, nokho ihlathi ligcina isithunzi esingokwemvelo esizizwa siphila futhi singaphoqelekile. Ukuhamba endaweni enjalo kungase kufane nokungena endaweni engcwele, lapho ukuhwashaza okuthulile kwamaqabunga kungena esikhundleni somsindo wamazwi, futhi ukudlala kokukhanya kwelanga ku-canopy kuveza ukukhanya okushintshashintshayo kwengilazi engcolile. Yindawo yokuzindla, yokubalekela umsindo wempilo yansuku zonke, kanye nokwazisa ubuciko obukhona emiklamweni emikhulu yemvelo.

Ekugcineni, le ndawo ingaphezu kweqoqo lezihlahla. Kuyisibonelo sokuthi ama-beech avuthiwe, namafomu awo ezakhiwo kanye nama-canopies anwebekayo, angachaza indawo yonke, aguqule utshani obuvulekile ube into engavamile. Bakhombisa ukuthi kungani i-beech yaseYurophu ibhekwa njengenye yezinketho ezinhle kakhulu ezingadini nezindawo ezinkulu: inikeza umthunzi, ubuhle, nomuzwa wokuhlala unomphela ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane ezingakwazi ukuwufanisa. Lesi sithombe asithwebuli nje ukubukeka kwalezi zihlahla kodwa nengqikithi yazo, siveza ubuhle obuzolile behlathi elizizwa lingaphelelwa isikhathi futhi liphila ngokujulile.
