Isithombe: I-American Arborvitae ku-Native Wetland Landscape

Lesi sithombe sokwakheka kwezwe sinokucaca okuphezulu sithwebula i-American Arborvitae evuthiwe (Thuja occidentalis) echuma endaweni yayo yendabuko engamaxhaphozi, enikeza ukuvezwa okucacile nokunembe kwezemvelo kwezinhlobo zezilwane ebangeni layo lemvelo. Ukwakheka kugxilile futhi kunothe ngokwebhotani, ilungele izinjongo zemfundo, ukongiwa, noma ikhathalogi.

Indawo okugxilwe kuyo yi-American Arborvitae ende, eyi-conical, emiswe kancane phakathi nendawo kwesokudla. Amahlamvu awo aminyene ahlanganiswe ngokuqinile, amaqabunga afana nesikali agqagqene akha izifutho eziqondile ukusuka phansi kuye kumqhele. Umbala uluhlaza ojulile, wemvelo, onokugqamisa okucashile lapho ukukhanya kwelanga kungena ku-canopy. I-silhouette yalesi sihlahla ibanzi phansi futhi ifinyelela phezulu ecijile, ikhombisa uhlobo lwaso lwephiramidi. Isiqu sibonakala kancane esisekelweni, sinegxolo elimangelengele, elifibrous kumathoni ansundu athulisiwe kanye nampunga.

Ezungeze i-Arborvitae indawo ehlala emanzini enohlaza evamile esenyakatho-mpumalanga yeNyakatho Melika. Ngaphambili, umfudlana ozungeza kancane ugeleza usuka ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwesithombe uya kwesokudla, indawo yaso ezolile ebonisa uhlaza oluzungezile nesibhakabhaka. Umfudlana uzungezwe utshani obude, ama-sedges, nezitshalo zasemanzini, ezinezigaxa zohlaza eziphumela emanzini. Unqenqema lomfudlana alujwayelekile futhi lungokwemvelo, lunama-moss nezihlahla ezikhula kancane ezengeza ukuthungwa nokuba ngokoqobo.

Indawo emaphakathi nengemuva ihlanganisa ingxube ehlukahlukene yezihlahla ezivuthulukayo nezihlahla zomdabu. Amaqabunga awo asukela kokuluhlaza okotshani kwentwasahlobo okugqamile kuye kumathoni ajulile ehlobo, anomumo ohlukahlukene wamaqabunga kanye nezakhiwo ze-canopy. Ezinye izihlahla ziseduze nesibukeli, zineziqu ezizacile namagatsha avulekile, kuyilapho ezinye zihlehlela kude, zenze ingemuva eligqinsile. I-understory igcwele ama-ferns, amahlumela, nezitshalo ze-herbaceous, okunikela ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nobuqiniso bemvelo bendawo yesigameko.

Ngaphezulu, isibhakabhaka siluhlaza sasibhakabhaka esithambile esinamafu ahlakazekile. Ukukhanya kwelanga kuhlunga ku-canopy, kusakaza izithunzi ezidabukile phansi kwehlathi futhi kukhanyisa amaqabunga e-Arborvitae ngokukhazimula okuthambile, okusabalele. Ukukhanyisa kungokwemvelo futhi kuyalinganisela, kuthuthukisa ukuthungwa kwamagxolo, amaqabunga, namanzi ngaphandle kokungafani okunzima.

Ukwakheka kulinganiseke kahle, i-Arborvitae igxilisa indawo yesehlakalo kanye nokusakaza okuholela iso lesibukeli endaweni. Lesi sithombe sivusa ukukhuthazela okuthulile kwalolu hlobo endaweni yaso yendabuko—evame ukutholakala ezindaweni ezinamahlathi anothile, amabhogi namaxhaphozi asenyakatho. Iqhaza layo lemvelo njengendawo yokuhlala, i-windbreak, kanye nokuqiniswa kwenhlabathi ichazwa ngobuqili ngokuhlanganiswa kwayo nezitshalo ezizungezile.

Lokhu okubonakalayo kusebenza njengenkomba ephoqayo yezazi zezitshalo, izazi zemvelo, othisha, nabaklami bendawo abafuna ukuqonda noma ukukhombisa i-American Arborvitae kumongo wayo wemvelo. Igqamisa ukuguquguquka kwezinhlobo zezilwane, ubuhle besakhiwo, nokubaluleka kwemvelo yemvelo.
