The 2Nd BFU International Garden-Making Festival: Fifteen Bamboo Gardens Are Blooming The 2nd BFU International Garden-making Festival: Fifteen bamboo gardens are blooming The 2nd BFU International Garden-making Festival, with the theme of “Poetry of the Garden,” was opened at the Xuezi Qing Square of Beijing Forestry University on October 13, 2019. Within three and a half days, fifteen teams from China and abroad used bamboos and flowers to build their gardens, which combined the aesthetics of the Chinese traditional poems with the beauty of construction art. Figure 1 Opening Ceremony This festival was divided into four phases: (1) design scheme collection and selection; (2) construction drawings and feasibility analysis; (3) on-site construction; and (4) on-site awards voting and exhibition. Since the call for submissions in January 2019, it has received the attention of 2004 teachers and students from 103 universities. After several rounds of selection, the organizing committee eventually invited fifteen teams to build their gardens, including Beijing Forestry University, Chongqing University, Tsinghua University, National Chiba University, Tianjin University, Southwest Forestry University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Northwest A&F University, South China University of Technology, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Australia), Chulalongkorn University, Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University, Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. These teams combined theory and practice, integrated material construction and artistic expression, compared gardening skills, and created poetic gardens. The jury of this festival consists of fifteen experts and scholars from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, the 1 Netherlands, Germany and other countries and regions. In the end, three works won the Outstanding Awards, including Chiba University's "Between the Orders and Chaos", Tianjin University's "Wind Nest", and Beijing Forestry University's "Black Hole". Five works won the Award of Excellence, including Beijing Forestry University's "Fun Cage", South China University of Technology’s "Crunch", RMIT University’s "Celebrating the Otherness", the Central Academy of Fine Arts "Garden Appeared in Bamboo Forest", Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts "Vanish in a Flash".

Between the Orders and Chaos School: Chiba University Advisers: Mitani Toru, Shimoda Ryosuke Participants: Yamazaki Shohei, Mizutani So, Yamashita Masahiro, Liu Shuhao, Koikawa Teppei, Sasaki Kei,Tanimoto Miyu, Yan Ni Design notes:Everything in the world was born out of chaos, but always pursue the order, eventually dying and returning to chaos. Chaos and disorder, heaven and earth, yin and yang always balance in dynamics. This work takes bamboo tube as the ground, symbolizes order, and uses the bamboo strip as the sky, expressing disorder, concealing the yin and yang of the reincarnation of the cycle. 4 2. Wind Nest School: Tianjin University Adviser: Wang Hongcheng, Hu Yike Participants: Chen Lijun, Deng Jian, Sun Yawei, Zhang Erke, Guo Ru, Liu Runtong, Zhang Hao, Zhang Jiale Design notes: Wind uses the momentum to rein everything. Nest gathers the strength of everyone. This design’s inspiration comes from the lighter bamboo structure to create a nest full of inspiration, while swaying flower border was to show the nest that gathering inspirations, which combined dynamic and static. The Wind Nest refers that the inspiration of students is like the shining stars. Under the influence of the wind, the Wind Nest gather as much less. Wind Nest can also be understood as Trends. That can attract the wind, which demonstrates the courage of young students to create a new era. Flower and bamboo are integrated, decreasing the distance among visitors, vegetation and bamboo structure, and creating the experience of "People walk in the bamboo structure, just like in the light wind". Structural design: By building a real model, we verified the feasibility of this design, and show the lightness and flexibility of bamboo fully. Flower border design: The ground streamline model combines with the trajectory of the grass to form the wind and realizes the blending of the wind and bamboo to create a poetic realm. 5 3. Black Hole School: Beijing Forestry University Advisers: Feng Xiao, Duan Wei Participants: Qian Xiaoqin, Lu Jing, Xie Jiaqi, Li Ting, Liao Jingjing,Nie Lei, Liang Tong, Yang Ruiying Design Notes: The universe is a garden that is intertwined with real and absolute illusions. Inspired by the "Black Hole", the scheme is formed by three respectively tilted elliptical planes to form a horizontal skeleton, curved bamboo cross-woving in vertically. The "hole" at the top symbolizes an infinitely extended universe, but the "universe" is not out of reach. The bamboo curtains hanging in the center, as if "Black Holes" attracting people in it. The "pick-up" corner becomes the entrance, and the tall pennisetum surrounded creating a secret, romantic space for thinking. The viewer sat on the ground, gradually falling into wild imagination about the universe and ego. 6 4. Fun Cage School: Beijing Forestry University Advisers: Zheng Xiaodong, Li Hui Participants: Tong Jiayu, Yu Yongxin, He Daina, Zhang Na, Cai Qifeng, Liang Jinzi, Liu Huizi, Zhu Zining Design Notes: Life is like a fortress besieged. Those who are outside wanting to get in, and those who are inside wanting to get out. Looking for the meaning of life is an individual journey. We’re tired of seeking fortune and fame, which have prisoned us like invisible cages. As Tao Yuanming said in his poem, “We have been in the cage too long. It's time to back to nature.” The Fun Cage in woods is a secret place. The ones out of the cage are curious to know what the inside of it looks like. The ones in the cage are eager to see what happened outside. Therefore, we broke the boundary between inside and outside to blur the division. You can find nature out of the cage, 7 and in it as well. Only after experiencing the shift of moods, you can understand what the cage means. Enter the cage and have fun. 5. Crunch School: South China University of Technology Advisers: Lin Guangsi, Xiong Lu Participants: Wang Quhe, Liu Yao, Zhong Heli, Li Yue, Shen Pan, Chi Wenxiu, Chen Mengyun, Zhou Zhaosen Design notes: Life is full of tension and busyness, control and out of control. Inspired by the flexible features of bamboo, this design tries to focus on the “bounce”, and produces a series of ever-changing visual and spatial experience in the process of people's activities: Is it oppressive, cautious, nervous and upset? Or the light ups and downs, the light and shadow around, and the floating consciousness? Finally, when you walk out and step back to the ground, the garden appears again, but the slight sway still exists, is the surrounding world still the original one? 8 6. Celebrating the Otherness School: RMIT University Advisers: Li Zixuan, Jock Gilbert Participants: Zhuge Huaying, Xu Yao, Luo Jiayi, Hu Jinyu, Sun Mingze, Xu Zheng, Xiao Jiafeng Design notes: Urban void, also called negative space, is the left-over space that existing between gaps of buildings and blocks. Urban void is ephemeral, flexible and transformative, it forms part of the surrounding environment together with permanent infrastructural and coherent road system. In 2005, Heike Rahmann and Marieluise Jonas state in Tokyo Void that, the total proportion of vacant space within major metropolis is slightly fluctuating at 4%, due to permanent urban transformation. This 9 land of indecision allows people to re-organize the space based on their preference and desire. Urban void is anything but nothing, it is not only a non-programmed space that contains alternative functions and possibilities, but also an ephemeral object that people can freely define as. To highlight and celebrate the active performance and ecological capacity of urban void, I would like to build up a pop-up pavilion that introduce the urban void as a form rather than a space. In here, the materials bamboo and herbs would be defined by their capabilities: as a changeable process, the pavilion witnesses the change of light and shadow, captures every single moment of vegetation growth, colonization, competition and decay. Fully expresses the tenacity and constitutive property of bamboo in design, the pavilion is designate to guide people to discover the hidden urban void, value it and finally celebrate the performance of urban void for interpreting society and personal contemplation. 7. Garden appeared in Bamboo forest School: Central Academy of Fine Art Advisers: Wu Xiangyan, Zhang Qian Participants: Hu Yuchen, Xie Xiuzhu, Lian Jingsen, Sun Kunlun, Zhao Wenjian, Wang Xinyu, Chen Ning, Wu Ji Design notes: "Bamboo garden", use metaphors, symbols, and the positive transformation, shape the hidden in the bamboo forest small hexagonal pavilion (negative), pavilion rockery scattered around, thick bamboo trees, just like the beautiful pastoral. Pavilion is an important element of Chinese classical garden, which embodies the idea of harmony between man and nature.

Medina , Jose Hermis P. Patricio, and Angela Grace Toledo-Bruno Department of Environmental Science, College of Forestry and Environmental Science Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines Abstract. Aside from the greenhouse gas reduction ability of palm oil-based biofuel as alternative to fossil fuels, another essential greenhouse gas mitigation ability of oil palm plantation is in terms of offsetting anthropogenic carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. In this context, this study was done to determine the carbon sequestration potential of oil palm plantations specifically in two areas in Mindanao, Philippines. Allometric equation was used in calculating the biomass of oil palm trunk. Furthermore, destructive methods were used to determine the biomass in other oil palm parts (fronds, leaves, and fruits). Carbon stocks from the other carbon pools in the oil palm plantations were measured which includes understory, litterfall, and soil. Results revealed that the average carbon stock in the oil palm plantations is 40.33 tC/ha. Majority of the carbon stock is found in the oil palm plant (53%), followed by soil (38%), litterfall (6%), and understory, (4%). The average carbon sequestration rate of oil palm plants is estimated to be 4.55 tC/ha/year.

Wildland fire in ecosystems: fire and nonnative invasive plants. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 6. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 355 p. Abstract—This state-of-knowledge review of information on relationships between wildland fire and nonnative invasive plants can assist fire managers and other land managers concerned with prevention, detection, and eradi- cation or control of nonnative invasive plants. The 16 chapters in this volume synthesize ecological and botanical principles regarding relationships between wildland fire and nonnative invasive plants, identify the nonnative invasive species currently of greatest concern in major bioregions of the United States, and describe emerging fire-invasive issues in each bioregion and throughout the nation. This volume can help increase understanding of plant invasions and fire and can be used in fire management and ecosystem-based management planning. The volume’s first part summarizes fundamental concepts regarding fire effects on invasions by nonnative plants, effects of plant invasions on fuels and fire regimes, and use of fire to control plant invasions. The second part identifies the nonnative invasive species of greatest concern and synthesizes information on the three topics covered in part one for nonnative inva- sives in seven major bioregions of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Central, Interior West, Southwest Coastal, Northwest Coastal (including Alaska), and Hawaiian Islands.
