Synthetic vegetation: An ecosystem prosthesis

Content Provider Springer Nature Link
Author Woodley, M. A.
Copyright Year 2006
Abstract In this paper, an entirely novel, theoretical restoration/conservation tool will be described. This tool will take the form of self-sustaining ‘synthetic vegetation’ designed, through the use of solar energy, to generate Oxygen through the electrolysis of water and sequester CO$_{2}$ in a disposable form through the formation of Carbonic acid amongst other things; in short simulate many of the major functions of living vegetation. The environmental role of synthetic vegetation as a terrestrial ecosystem ‘prosthesis’ is evaluated with a Carbon acquisition calculation and a cost benefit analysis reviewing the benefits of utilization in the context of material costs. It is proposed that synthetic vegetation could greatly aid in conservation by regenerating degraded environments and speeding up the process of restoration.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
