“…This observation was similar to the findings of Fu and Ruggeri as the changing of the urban green spaces by stakeholders results of Bigell and Chang as the cultural influences for changing of the gardens (Fu, Xiao, & Wu, 2016;Bigell & Chang, 2014). Furthermore, the results confirmed the outcomes of the study of Paganova and Jurekova to change trees in the softscape by users, and Baard and Kraaij on the effective factors of changing both hardscape and softscape of landscape (Ruggeri, Mazzocchi, & Corsi, 2016;Paganová & Jureková, 2012;Baard & Kraaij, 2014).…”

“…To construct a unique format for the analysis, some semi-geometric forms of the land converted into a basic form of the square to enable comparing of the structure and landscape elements and features as the process of mapping (White, 1983;Paganová & Jureková, 2012;Gökyer, 2013;Laseau, 2000;. For this reason, iconic symbols were designed based on the hardscape particularly houses, buildings, and other constructions, and softscape included trees, flowers, vegetation, and decorative elements.…”

“…Robinson (2004) in the study on the structure of gardens concluded that trees have been significant elements to create form and space by defining edge, centre, and corner to construct the meaning in terms of the architectural functions. Trees have been a major element in gardening due to size, shape, volume, and durability in the composition part (Paganová & Jureková, 2012); however, studies of Baard and Kraaij (2014) emphasized a continuous process of increasing some alien trees such as Pinus, Acacia, and Eucalyptus to change the softscape in the African region. In the opposite point of view, studies remarked that emphasizing ecological planning and the native plants implied some ideological racialism than landscape (Hall, 2003).…”

The urban gardens are under transformation that results in the modification of function, activity, hardscape, softscape of gardens. The aim of this paper is to analyse the transitional process of the gardens from the productive function to recreational purposes in Kigali city, Rwanda. The methodology of the research was designed qualitative methods such as interview, observation, photography, sketching, mapping, and graphical analysis. The findings identified that the transition process has affected both the configuration and composition of gardens. The configuration refers to the hardscape including buildings, walls, paving, and accessibility, and composition includes the softscape such as trees, shrubs, flowers, pots, and furniture. Additionally, this transition resulted in changing functions and activities in the gardens from productive to leisure and from private to semi-private and semi-public. This transition could be addressed to the new generation of social middle classes in the city who are raising new needs, desires, and expectations from the urban area to increase social interaction through semi-public activities.

“…In relatively warm landscape units it is, or it may become, a significant species in terms of landscape ecology (Paganová 2008a,b;Paganová, Jureková 2012). But it also has the wood of high quality, the hardest of any European wood, and may be an element of open forests, so there is also an interest in it from a forestry perspective.…”

Long-term storage of service tree (Sorbus domestica L.) seeds and induction of their germination

Service tree (Sorbus domestica L.) is a significant species with regard to the biodiversity of specific habitats. Its reproduction in natural conditions appears to be problematic and in the interest of preserving the countryside, forests and their biodiversity, it is necessary to apply controlled reproduction procedures. Therefore, when applying such procedures it is of crucial importance to optimize the storage and use of seed material. The objective of the present article is to evaluate the germination rates of seeds which were stored in the long term. 95% of the seeds preserved at low temperatures above zero in a normal refrigerator for 8 years germinated after stratification in wet sand. The germination rate of the same seeds when moistened without stratification was 0%. However, after removal of the seed coat, 76% of these seeds germinated without stratification. Storage of air-dried seeds in the cold (at temperatures above zero) is ideal and is better than freezing them to -20°C, as reported in the literature. Wet peat is completely unsuitable for stratification.

The water defi cit is considered to be signifi cant cause of photosynthesis defects. Measuring of chlorophyll fl uorescence is one of the methods revealing defects in the photosynthetic apparatus. The experiment was established with two woody plant (Pyrus pyraster L. and Sorbus domestica L.) cultivated in two diff erent regimes of the substrate saturation. The measurement of the modulated fl uorescence of chlorophyll a was done by FMS1 fl uorometer during three-week period between June and September (2012 and 2013). There were analysed selected parameters of chlorophyll fl uorescence: F v /F m -maximum quantum effi ciency of PSII,  PSII -eff ective quantum yield of PSII and R FD -chlorophyll fl uorescence decrease ratio. According to the obtained results, Pyrus pyraster has probably higher potential for adaptation to water defi ciency. There were recorded the signifi cant decreases mainly in the values of parameter R FD and  PSII for Sorbus domestica within duration of experiment with diff erent water regime in both growing seasons 2012 and 2013. The results document a weak sensitivity of the parameter F v /F m on changes in the amount of available water in the substrate in both taxa.
