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.

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 (

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.

In recent history, various forms of secular worldview, humanistic, atheistic, communistic, agnostic, etc. have also found their niche in the Philippines. Hence, we set out this study to probe the extent of secularization in the Philippines today and from there, to draw some challenges it poses to the future of Asian theology and Christianity. T

During the Victorian era, in Britain, there was a craze for all things oriental, particularly ceramics and “there was a craze for all things Japanese and no middle class drawing room was without its Japanese fan or teapot.“ (V&A Victorian).
