    In the mid-1700s, Jean Baptiste LeComte II got land grants from the Spanish and French. Structures began to be built the 1800s. Be that as it may it wasn't until 1830 Magnolia Plantation saw its first occupants. Jean's child, Ambrose, and his wife, Julia Buard, transformed the property into a cotton plantation. Utilizing slave work, they changed over 2,000 sections of land into vast cotton fields. Their profits allowed them to extend to three plantations, utilizing Magnolia Plantation as their home base. The greater part of Magnolia's structures, which incorporate a metal forger shop, a ranch store, a previous slave doctor's facility, eight block lodges and a gin stable are dated back to between 1835 to 1850. The slave doctor's facility housed the owners after the primary house was burned by Union officers amid the Civil War in 1897. The house that stands today is a replication of the first house.…

    In the essay “Planting a Tree”, the author describes his place of living and its surroundings. The author, Edward Abbey, lives in a little house close to the city Tucson, Arizona with his wife and daughter. Abbey portrays his place of living and the surroundings in a very distinct manner. Despite being surrounded by wild animals, Abbey describes the place as nice. Although, he would like to stay here for a while, but he probably will not. However, before leaving Abbey wants to plant a tree so someone or something can enjoy its shade, or birds, or witness the pale gold of its autumn leaves. Abbey and his family have lived at this place for four years and are now free to leave whenever they wish (Abbey 541).…

    An expanding human population has led to increased farming and accelerated soil erosion. When the soil has a low capacity to retain water, farmers must pump groundwater up and spray it over crops. The local water table will eventually fall. This water depletion can impact native vegetation in the area and have been doing this for several years. Agroforestry is a method of cultivating both crops and trees on the same land. Farmers plant agricultural crops between the rows of tree that generate income during the time it take the trees to grow mature enough to produce earnings from nuts or lumber. There are four tiers to follow for successful agricultural crops.…

    CADECOM’s goal was to encourage the people to extend on their knowledge and skills by using the resources that are given to them by CADECOM. This is a very sustainable technique because then the communities are able to continue using the things they have learnt after CADECOM’s support. It is evident that this program has met their initial goals when Doney was interviewed about the process that the village is making since CADECOM started working with them. “My life has been transformed,” smiles Doney. “The village is developing... I would like to thank the people of Australia. The support you provide to us is going to the right people, and is helping us." Doney stated. Through CADECOM 225 families have received seeds to improve crop yields, 288 have been trained in food processing, 200 in post-harvest crop handling, 246 in vertical gardening, 177 in crop handling and storage, and 8 seed banks have been constructed. Doney now knows more efficient ways to grow her own crops so that her family no longer goes months without sufficient food. Doney and her family used to use unsafe water from the local river for drinking, cooking, and washing but today they can access clean water since CADECOM and their community built a borehole and water pump. Clean water and hygiene practices learnt through the CADECOM program means the health of Doney and her family have dramatically improved. Doney and her community now have access to clean drinking water, flourishing crops, and are building their knowledge to create a better and more sustainable…

It was European mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) A thought occurred in our mind: Does our home country China have this gorgeous tree? If not, can we transplant this tree into China? Although after our search, this idea was interrupted by a fact that rowan distribute wildly in China(中国科学院植物研究, 1985), we still do not wish to abandon the research and study on this attractive tree.
