Alie Ward: 本期节目采访了树木专家J. Casey Clapp,讨论了树木学家的工作内容、树木的结构、树木如何交流以及种植树木对环境的益处。节目中,J. Casey Clapp详细解释了城市树艺师和植物学家的区别,前者专注于城市树木的管理,而后者则更侧重于树木的研究和分类。他还分享了其对树木的热爱,以及他最喜欢的树种——海岸红杉,并详细描述了这种树木的特性,例如其高大、抗腐、抗虫、抗火以及强大的再生能力。 J. Casey Clapp: 在节目中,J. Casey Clapp 详细解释了树木的结构,包括根、茎、枝、花和叶四个主要器官。他指出,温带地区树木的根系主要分布在土壤表层2-3英尺内,这与人们普遍的认知不同。他还解释了树木的隔室化功能,即树木可以将受损的枝干隔离开来,以保护自身。此外,他还深入探讨了树木的交流方式,指出树木可以通过根系相互连接,并通过化学和电信号进行交流。他还提到了菌根真菌与树木形成互惠共生关系,帮助树木吸收水分,以及蒸腾作用驱动水分在树体内的运输过程。在谈到树木的养护时,他解释了修剪树木对树木的影响,以及如何从树木中提取树液制糖浆。他还解释了落叶树和常绿树的叶片脱落策略不同,这是一种资源分配策略。最后,他还谈到了种植树木对环境的益处,以及某些树种对特定微环境更有益。 Alie Ward: 节目中还讨论了其他一些关于树木的知识,例如树木是否会感到疼痛,以及不同树种的含糖量差异。Alie Ward 也分享了她自己的一些经验和观点,并与 J. Casey Clapp 就相关话题进行了深入的探讨。
