Leaf trait plasticity means green facades are a flexible nature-based solution for vertical greening under full-sun and heavy shade conditions

Nature-Based Solutions, 2023
Climbing plants that cover building walls (indirect green façades) are a nature-based solution for urban greening in dense urban areas. Green facades can provide important ecosystem service benefits such as cooling, biodiversity habitat and visualamenity

Assessment of the Potential Risk of Rock-Climbing for Cliff Plant Species and Natural Protected Areas of Spain

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In recent years, the popularity of rock-climbing has grown tremendously, setting an increasing pressure on cliff habitats. Climbing may be particularly harmful in the Mediterranean biome due to its appropriate environmental conditions for climbing. A few

Wind Forces in Overgrown Rope Façades

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2021
Modern cities face a climatic problem due to the high proportion of sealed surfaces that increase the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Green surfaces offer a way to mitigate the UHI effect, as they positively influence the thermal energy storage and air ...

Decision-Making Underlying Support-Searching in Pea Plants

Plants, 2023
Finding a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants. Those that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

The distribution of climbing chalk on climbed boulders and its impact on rock‐dwelling fern and moss species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Rock climbing is popular, and the number of climbers rises worldwide. Numerous studies on the impact of climbing on rock‐dwelling plants have reported negative effects, which were mainly attributed to mechanical disturbances such as trampling and removal

The features of xylem tracheary elements in some herbaceous members of the family Convolvulaceae Horan.

Turczaninowia, 2021
Numerous narrow xylem tracheary elements (tracheids and vessels) are present in liana stems, along with a few wide vessels that perform the main water-conducting function.

The ability of three climbing plant species to capture particulate matter and their physiological responses at different environmental sampling sites

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
The adsorption of particulate matter (PM) by the leaves of urban plants can effectively reduce the particulate matter concentration in the atmosphere. The use of climbing plants to abate particulate matter is an important means of urban greening in China,

Influence of intercropping sweet sorghum with climbing bean on forage yield and quality [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture
Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is an important silage crop and has an increasing popularity because of the need for relatively smaller quantities of water per unit dry matter production compared to maize.

Interactive Modeling and Authoring of Climbing Plants [PDF]

Computer Graphics Forum, 2017
We present a novel system for the interactive modeling of developmental climbing plants with an emphasis on efficient control and plausible physics response. A plant is represented by a set of connected anisotropic particles that respond to the surrounding environment and to their inner state.
