After leaving the banyan tree garden, Li Yao controlled her surfboard to reach the wild vegetable garden.
The wild plants here are noticeably taller; Li Yao saw that the wild taro had grown to over two meters tall.
That's amazing.
The wild vegetable garden covers an area of approximately 150 acres and collects and preserves more than 400 species of closely related wild edible and cultivated plants.
They are preserved in the wild fruit-eating area, the wild flower-eating area, the wild stem-and-leaf-eating area, and the wild root-eating area, respectively, while wild cultivated plant relatives are scattered in each area.
Wild edible plants sustained humankind through a long prehistoric period and remain an important food source for many cultures around the world today, helping them survive famine.
Many varieties possess medicinal and health-promoting components, nutritional properties, and unique flavors that are more beneficial to human health than cultivated plants, and have already formed an industry.
Wild species retain a richer genetic diversity and are the most important genetic resource in cultivated crop breeding.
The most well-known example is that many years ago, Yuan Longping used the male sterility gene in wild rice to overcome the key technology of hybrid rice and thus solved the food problem for the Chinese people.
Today, Li Yao saw that these wild edible vegetables were still growing vigorously.
She recalled the messages the system had given her about the various bases, which were facing a food crisis.
If these edible vegetables were given to the researchers at the base, they would probably benefit from them.
With that in mind, Li Yao brought more soil and stored all the vegetable gardens in her space. She planned to do a good deed when she had some free time in a few days.
After leaving the wild vegetable garden, Li Yao flew to the vine garden for a look.
Li Yao, who was using her mental energy to explore first, was almost suffering from trypophobia.
Fortunately, to prevent the plants from climbing and spreading, these parks have partitioned off the different areas, keeping them relatively far apart.
Otherwise, Li Yao felt that the botanical garden would have been overrun by these vines long ago.
Climbing plants are a type of plant group with a rather unique life cycle.
Because its stem is soft and cannot support the above-ground parts independently.
They need to climb or attach to other plants or supports by twining their own stems or using special structures (such as tendrils, aerial roots, etc.).
Climbing plants, also known as climbing plants, creeping vines, or vines,
Based on whether the stems are lignified, they are mainly divided into two categories: woody vines and herbaceous vines.
Climbing plants are an important component of tropical and subtropical forest communities.
It plays an important role in the structure and function of forest ecosystems.
In tropical rainforests, vines can grow to enormous sizes, resembling a giant dragon weaving through the forest, creating an amazing rainforest landscape.
The vine garden at the Banna Botanical Garden covers an area of approximately 100 acres.
Based on the climbing method and display effect of the vines, they are divided into the horticultural ornamental vine area, the natural ecological vine area, the population vine area, and the hanging vine area.
The park features a variety of colorful and meticulously arranged ornamental vines and creeping shrubs.
There are also vibrant, freely growing native wild vines.
In addition, it also includes some woody plants planted in the early stages of the garden's establishment.
The vine garden currently houses over 700 plant species, of which over 400 are vines.
The main taxa include Apocynaceae, Fabaceae, Bignoniaceae, Schisandraceae, Caprifoliaceae, Annonaceae, Convolvulaceae, Vitaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Jasminum, Passionflower, and Aristolochia, making it a very rich and specialized area in the Banna Botanical Garden.
In the current vine plant area, these vines compete for living space and grow increasingly thick and tall. Some even form vine balls, or they squeeze other weaker plants to climb on them.
These vines, resembling thick, green pythons, were still moving, swaying in the wind, dangling insects and tree frogs to play with their prey, making Li Yao's hair stand on end.
In the middle section, there was a half-meter-long vacuum zone. Upon closer inspection, Li Yao discovered it was a vine belonging to the Apocynaceae family.
Plants in the Apocynaceae family are generally poisonous, and mutated Apocynaceae vines are even more poisonous, with the sap and seeds being the most toxic. Therefore, there are no insects around, and other vines are kept away.
Li Yao watched as the vines intertwined, forming snake-like shapes as thick as five or six people, and began to catch and eat. Goosebumps rose all over her body.
He quickly used [Spatial Cut] to clear out the entire vine garden, collected thousands of crystal cores of different levels, and then used [Spatial Devour] to collect the plant debris.
