The Engineering Role Of plants

In the past , attitudes towards plants and their fuctions in the landscape were
generally subjective and restricted to “romantic, gardeneque “ Applications because
of the aesthetic of plants nanys of today’s landowners understandably still hold this
attitude.

However, plants can serve other important fuctions that are not as obvious to the
average property owner just as the Engineering profession is primarlly concerned
with engineering profession is primarlly concerned with modifying our environment to
make it safer , healthier and more comfortable landscape designers use plants to
achieve these.Some objectives through erosion and pollution control and glare
reduction

Plants grasses with shallow , fibrous root system are the most effective controllers of
erosion. Evergreen plants are more effective for year round control.
 z

Benefits of Landscaping
 Pollution control

 Another role plants sometimes serve is the control of pollution is congested urban
areas plants can purify the air by removing carbon dioxide and limited quantities
of suffer dioxide and replace Them with oxygen the fresh air produced by plants
along freeways or in heavily travelled streets mixes with and dilutes heavily
particulated air

 Plants can also clean the atmosphere by removing dust , ash , and smoke
particles from the air the particles settle on the leaves and branches and are
eventually washes by rain to the leave

 Plants can also , to a certain extent be used to control sound pollution in urban
areas and along freeways , however , adequate research has not been
conducted that clearly demonstrate the total effectiveness of plants in this
capacity. The requirements for more green soaces and belts in and surrounding
urban areas.

Climate control with Plants

People plant and design landscape for human use sitting, eating playing sports,
reading,and sittingthr house. The use of such areas throughout hot sun and cold,
forceful winds, Landscape plants can be used as air conditioners, heaters and
humidifiers to alter the climate around us for maximum human comfort.The climate of
the immediate area around us is called microclimate. To a grade degree it is
determined by microclimate or the climate of the greater region involving average
maximum and minimum temperature; prevailing winds and annual prescriptions.

The microclimate is further influenced by surrounding air temperature solar radiation air
movement humidity Sun orientation topographical location and large dense urban
areas containing rate amount of concrete, asphalt and glass. For example, a house set
on a prominent rindge will experience stronger winds then a house set a depression or
valley. Similarly a house locateda house located is a central city area will experience
higher temperature than one locate on a wooded taught in a rural or sub-urban area.

The Aesthetics of plants

The enduring beauty of landscape plants has been the subject of painters, sculptor, poets,
philosophers and scientist throughout the ages people of all areas religious and nationalities
devote countless hours and resource to the care of landscape plants. It Is no small wonder
for plants appeal not only to our intellects but also to our physical sciences and emotions.

Most obvious aesthetic appreciation of plants is through the physical sense of sight, smell,
sound and touch. indivisible parts of plant blooms, fruits, leaves and branches are valued for
their colour, shape, Aroma and texture. plants can also be appreciated for the scriptural
quality of overall size colour and form and usual or prominent plants can be used as a
backdrop for setting for focal points.

Just as with the display of art in gallery whether you want the focal point to be viewed from
one or several ventage points, it subject must appear dominant within its context but never
overpowering. the typical romantic English landscape painting utilizes a foreground,
middleground, and background to present its subject.
