Innovative methods of community engagement: towards a low carbon climate resilient future

The proceedings of the Innovative Methods of Community Engagement: Toward a Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Future workshop have been developed by the Imagining2050 team in UCC and the Secretariat to the National Dialogue on Climate Action (NDCA). The NDCA also funded the workshop running costs. The proceedings offer a set of recommendations and insights into leveraging different community engagement approaches and methodologies in the area of climate action. They draw from interdisciplinary knowledge and experiences of researchers for identifying, mobilizing and mediating communities. The work presented below derives from a workshop held in the Environmental Research Institute in UCC on the 17th January 2019. These proceedings are complementary to an earlier workshop also funded by the NDCA and run by MaREI in UCC, titled ‘How do we Engage Communities in Climate Action? – Practical Learnings from the Coal Face’. The earlier workshop looked more closely at community development groups and other non-statutory organizations doing work in the area of climate change

Trichomes- their uses to the plant

Citation: Thackrey, Harriet Emerson. Trichomes- their uses to the plant. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1898.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: The study of trichomes is very interesting, because of the great diversity inform and function, while at the same time there is a similarity between all of the forms. They are commonly called plant hairs, because of the hair like coating of some leaves. They are also known under several other names, as sprines, prickles, briers, and dour which are all more or less descriptive terms. Some of these forms are often confused with other parts of the plant which are modified into forms similar to trichomes. The thorns on the honey locust and osage orange are really modified stems but they look very much like the spines on the goose berry and wild rose. The only way to distinguish is to determine whether or not they originate in the epidermis. If they do they are truly trichomes, if not they belong under some other classification
