Isithombe: I-Woodland Garden enezihlahla ze-Beech

Lesi sithombe sithwebula ingqikithi yengadi yehlathi elinokuthula, lapho izihlahla ze-European Beech ezivuthiwe (Fagus sylvatica) zime njengabaqaphi abangaphelelwa isikhathi bendawo. Iziqu zazo ezibushelelezi, ezimpunga ngokusasiliva ziphakama ngobuhle namandla, zigxilise indawo yesehlakalo ngobukhosi obungasho lutho. Ngenhla, ama-canopies azo abanzi, aminyene akha uphahla oluphilayo lwamaqabunga aluhlaza acwebezelayo ahlunga ukukhanya kwemini kube ukukhanya okuthambile, okudabukile. Umoya ongaphansi kwale miqhele evikelayo uzizwa upholile, uzolile, futhi ugcwele umuzwa wokuthula unomphela, njengokungathi izihlahla ngokwazo bezilokhu ziyingxenye yale ndawo amakhulu eminyaka. Izitho zawo eziphakeme zinwebeka ngaphandle ngokwanga okuhle, zenza umthunzi omnene endaweni engaphansi futhi ichaze ingadi njengendawo engcwele kanye nesiteji.

Ezingeni eliphansi, izitshalo eziningi ezithanda umthunzi ziyachuma endaweni evikelekile ehlinzekwa ama-beeches. Ama-Fern avula amaqabunga awo anezimpaphe kumakhaphethi abanzi wokuthungwa, kuyilapho ama-hostas aqinile anamaqabunga awo abanzi, aqoshiwe enza umehluko ogqamile nesigqi esibonakalayo. Inhlabathi emnyama, ecebile imbozwe ngokucophelela, igqamisa uhlaza oluluhlaza futhi inikeze ukondleka ngenkathi igcina idizayini ihlanzekile futhi icocekile. Lezi zitshalo ezingabangane azigcini nje ngokuchuma ethunzini elimnyama kodwa futhi zengeza izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo engadini, izinambuzane ezisekelayo, izilwane zasendle ezincane, nemijikelezo yokukhula yezinkathi ezithile zonyaka eqinisekisa ukuthi indawo izwakala iphila unyaka wonke. Ndawonye, isikimu sokutshala esinezingqimba kanye ne-canopy ephakeme ngenhla kufinyelela ukuvumelana okungavamile kwesikali, lapho izihlahla ezinkulu zihlala ndawonye ngaphandle komthungo nesembozo sangaphansi esithambile.

Ukunqamula kulokhu kwakheka okuluhlaza kuyindlela yemvelo emazombezombe, ubuso bayo buyingxube ethulisiwe yamatshe kanye nomhlaba ohlangana ngokungenamkhawulo nendawo ekuzungezile. Indlela izulazula ngenhloso, igoba kancane izungeza izisekelo zezinyosi futhi inyamalele engadini ejulile, inxusa isivakashi ukuba sihlole okwengeziwe. Idizayini yayo ikhuthaza ukuhamba kancane, ukucabangisisa, kanye nokutholwa, njengoba ukugoba ngakunye kuveza umbono omusha wamahlamvu anezingqimba, amakhona anomthunzi, nokujula okufihliwe. Lesi simemo esicashile sithuthukisa ikhwalithi yokucwiliswa engadini, siyiguqule isuka ekwakhiweni nje kokutshala ibe into ephilayo ebandakanya izinzwa ngokugcwele.

Isimo sehlathi sigcizelela ukubaluleka kwemvelo kwezihlahla ze-beech ngaphakathi komklamo wengadi. Ama-canopies awo aminyene, anamaqabunga ahlinzeka nge-microclimate ezinzile, enciphisa ukushisa okudlulele kanye nokugcina umswakama emhlabathini, okudala izimo lapho izinhlobo ezibekezelela umthunzi zingachuma khona. Amaqabunga ama-beeches awile anothisa umhlaba ngezinto eziphilayo, asekela impilo yomhlabathi futhi ondle umjikelezo wokuvuselela. Ngaleso sikhathi, ama-canopies abanzi ahlinzeka ngokukhosela ezinyonini nasezintweni ezithwala impova, okuqinisekisa ukuthi le ndawo ezolile nayo idlala indima ebonakalayo ekusekeleni ukuphila. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa kwesakhiwo kanye ne-ecology kukhombisa amandla ahlala njalo ezingadi eziphefumulelwe ngamapulangwe, lapho ukwakheka komuntu kuhlonipha futhi kusebenzisana nezinqubo zemvelo.

Inhlanganisela yezihlahla ze-beech eziphakeme, i-understory eqoshiwe, nezindlela ezimemayo zibonisa indlela umklamo ocabangelayo ongashintsha ngisho nekhona lehlathi elincane libe yindawo engcwele yokulinganisela nokuvumelana. Isigcawu sigqamisa ukuthi kungani izihlahla ze-beech zivame ukukhethwa njengomgogodla wezingadi zemvelo: zinikeza unomphela, uhlobo lwezakhiwo, nomuzwa wokukhosela ongenakuqhathaniswa. Ngalé kwenani lawo lokuhlobisa, ahlanganisa ukukhuthazela, ukunotha kwemvelo, nobuhle besizini, kusukela ebusheni bamahlamvu asentwasahlobo kuya emibaleni esagolide yasekwindla kanye nokucwebezela okubaziweyo kwasebusika.

Kulo mfanekiso, ingadi yehlathi iba ngaphezu kwendawo etshaliwe-iba indawo yokuhlehla, indawo lapho isikhathi sihamba kancane ngaphansi kokukhona okuqaphile kwezihlahla zasendulo, lapho ukuthungwa namathoni kuguquguquka ngokukhanya nenkathi, futhi lapho ukuxhumana okuthulile phakathi kwesakhiwo nokukhula kudala isikhala sobuhle obungapheli. I-European Beech, ngobuhle bayo namandla emvelo, ime njengokuyikho kokubili ihange nogqozi, isikhumbuza ikhono lemvelo lokudala ukuzwana lapho sangana ngokucabangisisa.
