Abstract:
The growth characteristics and horticultural merit of eight Asian trees that are generally unknown in North American horticulture are discussed. Seven deciduous trees (Sorbus hupehensis 'Pink Pagoda', Sorbus pallescens, Acer tschonoskii var. rubripes, Acer carpinifolium, Dipteronia sinensis, Heptacodium miconioides, Rehderodendron macrocarpum), and one conifer, Taiwania cryptomerioides, have been observed for several years at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Botanical Garden in Vancouver, to determine their suitability for more widespread cultivation as street, park or garden trees.

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines 17 goals for the wellbeing of people and the planet. The purpose of this study was to understand how University of British Columbia Botanical Garden (UBCBG) contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) and to identify opportunities for future action. To address this, we worked across departments to assess our programs and activities against the UN-SDG 17 goals and 169 targets. The UN-SDG indicators were only used to identify potential metrics that could be consider for future tracking. The main act

Abstract:
Rhamnus purshiana, or cascara, is a deciduous tall shrub or small tree as much as 9 m high with thin, smooth, silver-gray bark. It is often present in shady sites in redwood and mixed evergreen forests of the North Ameri-can west coast, from British Columbia to northern California. In July 2005, symptomatic leaves with irregular, black spots, 2 to 5 mm in diameter and concentrated toward the tips, were collected from four cascara plants in the Samuel P. Taylor State Park, Marin County, California. There was no evidence of defoliation. Pieces of necrotic tissue were plated on selective medium (

This paper compares the main axis architectural designs of the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Tsinghua University from cultural and environmental perspectives. Both universities embody unique historical and cultural values, reflected through their spatial organization and architectural elements. UBC, located in Vancouver on the traditional territory of the Musqueam people, integrates modernist architecture with Indigenous art and sustainable design principles, highlighting themes of reconciliation, inclusivity, and ecological innovation. In contrast, Tsinghua University in Beijing ex

In this work, we investigate the layout and architecture of campuses in terms of the role of natural landscapes in their space. Campus structures are considered as spatial grids in the context of their interaction with natural landscapes and their components. We studied the experience of designing a botanical garden in Columbia in a hot humid climate, the Polytechnic University in Ben Guerir in the climate of the Western Sahara and the Russian Far Eastern Federal University on Russky Island near Vladivostok.

Abstract:
Knowledge and practices of indigenous peoples relating to local plants used for food, medicine, materials, and other purposes are threatened in many parts of the world. The reasons for declining knowledge and use of traditional resources are complex and multifaceted. We review a series of case examples of culturally valued food plants in British Columbia and identify a suite of interacting social and environmental factors that have resulted in decreased use of and dwindling cultural knowledge about these plants over the past 150 years. Reasons for this loss include compounding influences of ch

DNA fingerprinting is a potentially powerful molecular genetic technique that can be used to distinguish subtle differences in genome structure among closely related genotypes, such as many horticultural varieties. A DNA fingerprinting project is currently in progress at the Univ. of British Columbia (UBC) Biotechnology Laboratory to produce a set of DNA markers and an easy, reliable, and legally recognized analysis protocol that will enable the UBC Botanical Garden Plant Introduction Scheme (PISBG) to unambiguously identify any of their released varieties, even in dormant or juvenile form, wh

Abstract Francis Buchanan’s temporary successor at the Botanic Garden, Nathaniel Wallich (né Nathanael Wulff) (1786-1854), was born in Copenhagen, the son of a Jewish merchant. He had been a pupil of Professor Martin Yahl, the author of Symbolae botanicae (1790-4), at the University of Copenhagen, and, on qualifying as a surgeon in 1806, left for the Danish settlement at Serampore on the River Hooghly opposite Barrackpore with an additional commission to collect plants and seeds for the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen.
