Soil corridors. If there is not room above ground to implement a green corridor, UBC [University of British Columbia] could experiment with underground corridors that connect existing soft landscapes belowground. Assuming space is available below ground, then soil corridors could help conserve soil on campus and also may create more room for tree roots and mycorrhizal fungi to grow.... By proposing soil corridors as a method to increase ecological connectivity on campus, soils are more likely to be conserved if their importance for ecological connectivity and mycorrhizae is recognized and valued.

When a tree seed germinates, the first(primary) root grows down in the soil in response to gravity. Secondary roots then branch off horizontally, with subsequent branching into tertiary roots, etc. Absorption of water and mineral nutrients is the function of the very fine, non-woody roots(the feeder roots). With continued growth, each root will lose its ability for absorption. These larger woody roots then function as the transport system for water and nutrients from the new feeder roots to the stem. They are also the tree's system of anchorage and a food storage area. The resulting system thus consists of several main transport roots that extend radically and horizontally from the tree base and divide into ever smaller roots, each ending in a dense mass of fine feeder roots.

Les racines des arbres et des arbustes assurent leur ancrage dans le sol, l'absorption d'eau et de minéraux, le transport de la sève et le stockage de matière nutritive. Elles peuvent être grossièrement divisées en deux grandes catégories : • les racines ligneuses qui forment la structure du système racinaire et assurent l'ancrage ainsi que le support de la plante; • les racines non ligneuses, souvent appelées «racines nourricières», «racines fines» ou «racines absorbantes», qui ont pour principale fonction d'absorber l'eau et les éléments minéraux.

DEF

A small oval shining black flea beetle (Epitrix cucumeris) that injures the leaves of various plants.

CONT

The potato flea beetle is primarily a pest of potato but it also attacks cucumber, eggplant, pepper, tomato and such other plants as jimsonweed, tobacco, large white petunia, groundcherry and bittersweet... Feeding injury, whether by adults on potato leaves in spring or late summer, or by larvae on tubers and roots and transmission of plant pathogens, are all potential ways in which this flea beetle may reduce potato yields both in terms of quality and quantity. Adult feeding on leaves results in rounded feeding scars, 0. 1 to 5 mm in diameter, which usually penetrate through the leaf to form a hole.

[A] root vegetable [is] a part of a plant grown underground and eaten as food. Root vegetables are a diverse group of foods, including culinary staples such as potatoes, onions, and carrots. Because "root vegetable" is a culinary category rather than a botanical one, it is composed not only of true roots but also bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers, and other underground plant structures.

L'appellation «légume racine» regroupe de nombreux légumes, de familles et d'apparences différentes. «Botaniquement» parlant, elle concerne également des organes différents. La racine stricto sensu, est la partie souterraine de la plante qui la maintient au sol et qui l'alimente en eau et en sels minéraux. Mais ce n'est pas le seul organe que l'on trouve sous terre : en effet, les rhizomes ne sont pas des racines, mais des tiges souterraines. Toute racine ou tout rhizome ne se consomme pas. Pour être considérés comme légumes, il faut qu'ils soient «tubérisés», c'est à dire transformés en tubercules. Un tubercule est un organe stockant des aliments de réserve. Il se trouve ainsi «gonflé» par ces derniers. On reconnaitra donc entre autres, comme racine tubérisée, la carotte, le panais, la betterave, le navet ou le radis, et comme rhizome tubérisé, la pomme de terre, le topinambour ou le gingembre.

DEF

The discriminatory treatment of certain groups of people based on their race or ethnicity, caused and maintained by the apparently neutral practices, policies, procedures and cultures of organizations and government structures.

OBS

With systemic racism, recurring discriminatory behaviours are the result of an underlying structure, a system with roots that are long-standing and well integrated in society. The acceptance and trivialization of these discriminatory practices within organizations often make systemic racism difficult to detect and dismantle. Systemic racism also seeps into culture, particularly through stereotypes that lead to discrimination. It can therefore be perpetuated by individual behaviour, such as word choices, opinions and gestures.

OBS

This system of inequality grants privileges to people from the dominant group and undermines the rights of those from racialized groups.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Problèmes sociaux
  • Sociologie des relations humaines
DEF

Traitement discriminatoire de certains groupes de personnes en raison de leur race ou de leur ethnicité engendré et maintenu par les pratiques, politiques, procédures et cultures en apparence neutres des organisations et des structures gouvernementales.

OBS

Dans le cas du racisme systémique, les comportements discriminatoires récurrents découlent d'une structure sous-jacente, d'un système dont les racines sont anciennes et bien intégrées dans la société. L'acceptation et la banalisation de ces pratiques discriminatoires au sein des organisations font en sorte que le racisme systémique est souvent difficile à déceler et à déloger. Il s'infiltre également dans la culture, plus précisément dans des stéréotypes discriminatoires. Il peut donc se prolonger dans le comportement individuel, par exemple dans le choix des mots, les opinions et les gestes.

Ce système d'inégalités confère des privilèges aux personnes du groupe dominant et porte atteinte aux droits de celles des groupes racisés.

Starchy vegetables include some tubers and roots, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes(yams), cassava, sago yams, and taro. Although botanically they are classified as fruit, plantains are also classified as starchy vegetables. While starchy vegetables are concentrated sources of starch, they are less starchy than grains.

A black box is a bare room with a movable seating area, a movable stage, and a flexible lighting system ... As per the name ... black boxes are often painted black and are square or rectangular in shape, with the idea that this is the most neutral setting in which to give productions a wide array of design and staging choices.

CONT

Black box theaters have their roots in the European avant-garde of the early 20th century. The black box theaters became popular and increasingly widespread in the 1960s as rehearsal spaces. Almost any large room can be transformed into a "black box" with the aid of paint or curtains, making black box theaters an easily accessible option for theater artists... The black box is also considered by many to be a place where more "pure" theatre can be explored, with the most human and least technical elements in focus.

The simple (brachydont) teeth are the first premolars (wolf tooth) and canines that have a distinct crown and root, but have no function for the domestic horse. The incisors and molars (cheek teeth) are hypsodont, like the molars of ruminants (cows, goats and sheep etc). This type of tooth has a large body that continues to erupt into the horse’s mouth as they are worn down by fibrous feed material. Most of the tooth is below the gum line in younger horses and continues to develop as it enters the mouth.

A small plant-parasitic roundworm(Heterodera glycines) that feeds on the roots of soybeans.

CONT

The life cycle of SCN [soybean cyst nematode] has three major stages : egg, juvenile and adult. The cycle begins when eggs hatch to release worm-shaped juveniles in the soil. This is the only stage when SCN can infect soybean roots. Soybean plants release chemicals that attract the larvae to the roots. Once they have penetrated the roots, the young nematodes migrate to the water and nutrient-conducting tissue(vascular system) and establish a feeding site(syncytia).
