Glechoma Longituba

This article studied the role of ground cover plants improving environmental factors mainly taking Glechoma longituba (Nakai) Kupr and Viola philippica as examples. The abilities of carbon fixation, oxygen release and transpiration heat absorbtion and dust-removal were measured ,and the results were shown:1. The ability of carbon fixation, oxygen release and transpiration heat absorbtion of Glechoma and V.philippica is in moderate leavel ;2. Planting G.longituba 28m2, or V.philippica 37 m2, can supply oxygen for an adult one day including gas and breathing oxygen consumption;3. The daily heat absorbtion of 1 m2G.longituba is equivalent to air conditioner working 5.79h, and V.philippica , 5.2h;4. 100m2G.longituba can retain dust 2.86kg per year , while V.philippica, 13.63kg per year. Which shows that ground cover plants have a great ability to improve the environment.

Complementary Currencies

The beginning of the 21st century was a proliferation of complementary currencies worldwide. Among them, a number of newly created local currencies were notable. France proved to be especially fertile in this regard from the early 2010s. La Gonette, operating in the metropolitan area of Lyon, is one of the biggest French local complementary currencies in terms of its users, providers (business partners), and money supply. For every scheme, the most important issue, which is also a challenge, is to provide enough spending options to be attractive for users, while also retaining their particular sociocultural identity. Besides a variety of spending options, their location features are also important in regards to future development, so decision-makers of a scheme can diversify the business expansion strategy accordingly in order to better achieve the desired socio-economic goals. Using la Gonette as a case study, the research objective of this paper is to uncover the implications of the providers’ location on the functioning of the scheme. To address this objective, I applied statistical tests for correspondence on the providers’ categorical and locational breakdowns. The results have shown heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of the types of providers in accordance with broader location characteristics, a fact which supports the need for territorial diversification of future development concepts.
