Ecological and Economic Importance of Mulching Within the Urban Areas of Large Cities of the Republic of Serbia
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper indicates the advantages of using mulching in conditions of real exploitation in difficult terrain within the city area in the Republic of Serbia. The work was written to include impacts on specific ecosystems within cities, which are generally very heavy: burdened by passing a large number of vehicles, pedestrians, a large number of different stepping, and the influence of salting in the winter provision of transport and the impact of drought in the summer. The authors point out that the mulching observation was done basically with the economic aspect. In addition, it can be noted that there are numerous benefits of mulching which are underutilized in the real exploitation so far. On the narrow spaces, which are generally long, a few hundred meters to several kilometers, that are actually dividing strip, green islands has been raised over the past decade. In these conditions the application of machinery is difficult, and the entire processing is handmade. One of the models of problem solving is the application of mulching that fully meets the ecological and economic principles of management of public lands. The implementation of such an approach would mean reducing allocations taxpayers, and the results do not harm the ecological principles, but on the contrary, it would have positive impact on the areas of green spaces within cities. Local governments and cities of the Republic of Serbia must develop the ecological-economic approach especially as imminent actual convergence of the Republic of Serbia with the EU countries. In the context of real convergence with the EU, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia in recent years has made a large number of laws and decrees ordering the application of the greening of large urban areas while preserving the already planted green areas of cities. In order to perform these tasks with great appreciation spending funds taxpayers, cities must implement positive solutions to addressing the issues of ecology and economy. In this paper the authors have tried to find some answers, with the main purpose to broad population enjoys the benefits of the application of mulching. Mulching land, especially in the cities has advantages over passive observation of deterioration of green areas of cities or maintaining those with considerable financial allocations. To make this work the authors used the documents public company founded by the city of Novi Sad. It has been operating in the market of Novi Sad and wider since 24.11.1962. Last bringing into line organization is done on the basis of the Decision of the City of Novi Sad, which was published in the Official Journal of the City of Novi Sad number 29/2005 and 53/2008 [1,2]. The survey was conducted in a representative and prestigious company with decade’s reputation and with more than 400 full-time employees. This company is the second largest in the Republic of Serbia for landscaping, maintenance of green areas and other activities related to agriculture and ecology. Specificity maintenance of green areas in cities, especially in narrow areas is exceptional. There must be met by numerous factors such as: the visual experience for residents and visitors to the city, it is extremely difficult to do all agronomic operations because of the narrow space, difficult work processing operations of green spaces, because it must be provided leeway traffic, and there are great citizens’ trampling green spaces. Multidisciplinary approach for proper functioning of specific green spaces in cities, and green islands that are raised in large cities boulevards essentially begins with recognition of specific space [1,3]. In such difficult raise conditions the green areas that need to have multiple effects on users must be taken of the methods that will be applied. Authors gave the results of research which included the period 2012-2014 by applying the classical methodsof planting, mulching, and application of green areas, especially those which were planted perennial shrubs and short ornamental trees. In the classical model of raising seedlings on green islands we see many impacts of degradation, such as stepping on the soil, the irreversible removal of fertile surface layer during washing streets, the accumulation of snow on the green island with a large amount of salt, etc. For these reasons, it must be accessible to a different approach to try to somehow reduce part or most of the negative impact on the green island boulevards and other urban spaces. In this paper, the authors tried to answer some questions related to the degradation of these urban areas, i.e. erosion and reduction primarily surface layer of green area [4], using mulching on such spaces. The point of all of these activities should be protecting of the surface layer of newly built green islands cities, and to better respond the ecological, visual experience of city dwellers, on the other hand these activities reduce costs taxpayers local communities and cities. Ecological approach is one of the primary in achieving humane life in big cities, and in order to approach full capacity it must include the science of marketing [5,6], which will long-term accompany any activity and with striking acceptable image at wide population [7-10]. In addition respecting the marketing [11] which will primarily explain to the citizens the significance of introducing new environmentally acceptable models for the community, and observation of socio-economic conditions [12] in which citizens live big cities is necessary. The application of the new mulching model in difficult environmental conditions for plants, as well as by demanding conditions for raising and maintenance of plant species in the cities, builds on previous research that includes a minimum investment of taxpayers with satisfactory effects [13,14].
