hello my friends today I will tell you about our forest in the Comenius Institute
we have a small forest
very beautiful full of birds
full of plants and trees
It is a forest that is not touched no trees are cut down
the trees are left to grow
well done
you can see on the floor many fallen pine leaves
there are mosses and lichens
some plants
some agaves there
some bushes, this part seems to be dry
but if we can open the soil a little, we realize
that down there are seeds and there is enough moisture, these mosses help
keep moisture in the forest during the dry season
and in the rainy season
they help collect and accumulate rainwater
this soil is quite full of stones
we will dig in the soil and see that the soil layer is really thin
these trees you see here around
Pine trees
are heroes, grow in this poor soil
the base is that this layer of fallen leaves on the ground is not disturbed
This carpet of leaves or mulch
this is the natural way as the forest is fertilized
Did you aks anytime why there is no need to fertilize the forest?
why he has no need to do so?
interesting, in agriculture says there you ever need to fertilize
that nothing will grow without fertilization
so how grows this forest?
that is so rich and full of life
and it does not have any fertilization, rather than providing you with nature
the principle is simple, it leaves rotting on the ground
leaves are breaking down in compost in the soil
while the leaves below are more decomposed
while closer to the surface are more intact
this leaves protect the soil surface compaction by the rain
and bottom sheets provide the nutrients
for the life of the forest
we see a plant Rhus pachyrachis
It is a regional plant
It is interesting to observe in more detail its trunk
we come near to see
It is full of lichens
these leaves here are lichens
you'd think this lĂquen what are doing here?
parasitizing the plant?
this lichen is living with the plant and helps protect her against of insects
It protects her against fungi, and also protects against extreme
climate when there is a snowstorm
when there is too hot
these lichens on the trunk
they help the tree survive extremes of temperature
and moisture
these are the red cedars
its scientific name is Juniperus flacida
the fruits of this tree are used to treat liver diseases
and leaves of this tree have a very powerful antifungal effect
this modest-looking plant
Ageratina espinosarum
is very interesting
If you quit one of the leaves and put it in the mouth
It has a very sweet taste
why in the region tell the azucarita ("sugar plant")
and this plant has an interesting effect
you have to chew a little and get out of the mouth what you chewed
and in case of cut of skin
you get a little of this material
and within a minute stop bleeding
It is interesting and is a plant does not look like much
from the agave plant we extract mead
also we took advantage of its juice as an excellent batericide
fungicide and insecticide
this is a plant Berberis who heard of this plant
you know that is excellent for draining and is used in kidney ailments
its leaves are very hard look like plastic
It is a plant full of thorns but has wonderful properties
the root of the plant is mainly fail
It has a yellow sap
Here I present you some images that I see from my window
the mountains seen in the day
clouds, wind, forest
and so they are in the morning when it is barely taking off the fog
Goodbye
