Icanopy yemithi yeLand Park iyamangalisa ngemilinganiselo emininzi. Njengesithsaba, imithi yenqwelomoya yaseLondon kunye nemithi ebomvu ngamaxesha athile iphakama kakuhle phezu kophahla ukuze ibe nomthunzi kwizitrato ezigcinwe kakuhle kunye nezindlu ngexesha lehlobo elitshisayo leSacramento.

Imithi emininzi inokufumaneka kwiLand Park kunayo nayiphi na enye indawo ebumelwaneni. Kwaye ibonelela ngeenzuzo zombini ezibonwayo nezingabonwayo ngeliso lenyama - impilo engcono, enye, kunye nomgangatho wobomi.

Kodwa azikho iiPaki zoMhlaba ezininzi eSacramento. Ngapha koko, zimalunga neshumi elinesibini kuphela iindawo zokuhlala ezineengcango zemithi ezisondela kufutshane nommelwane osemazantsi edolophu, ngokovavanyo lwesixeko esibanzi.

Abagxeki bathi umgca owahlula ezo ndawo uhlala uhla kubutyebi.

Uluntu olunenani eliphezulu kune-avareji yemithi ziindawo ezifana ne-Land Park, i-East Sacramento kunye ne-Pocket nazo zinezona ndawo zininzi zemizi enengeniso ephezulu, idatha ibonisa. Okwangoku, iindawo ezinengeniso ephantsi ukuya kwephakathi njengeMeadowview, Del Paso Heights, Parkway kunye neValley Hi zinemithi embalwa kunye nomthunzi omncinci.

Imithi igubungela phantse ama-20 ekhulwini eekhilomitha ezili-100 zesi sixeko. KwiPaki yoMhlaba, umzekelo, i-canopy igubungela iipesenti ezingama-43 - ngaphezulu komndilili wesixeko esiphindwe kabini. Ngoku thelekisa oko kunye ne-12 lepesenti ye-canopy yemithi efumaneka eMeadowview kumazantsi eSacramento.

Kumahlathi amaninzi asezidolophini kunye nabacwangcisi besixeko, oko akukhathazi nje kuphela ngenxa yokuba iindawo ezingatyalwanga ngaphantsi zibonakaliswe kakhulu kumaqondo obushushu ashushu kodwa ngenxa yokuba izitalato ezinemithi zinxulunyaniswa nempilo engcono. Imithi emininzi iphucula umgangatho womoya, igalelo kumazinga asezantsi e-asthma kunye nokutyeba, uphando lufumene. Kwaye banokuthomalalisa iziphumo ezigqithisileyo zotshintsho lwemozulu kwixa elizayo apho iintsuku ziya kuba shushu kwaye zome ngakumbi.

Nangona kunjalo yenye ye-Sacramento engafane ixoxwe ngokungalingani, abanye bathi. Ukungalingani akukhange kuqatshelwe. Abathetheleli bathi isixeko sinethuba lokujongana neminyaka yokulinywa kwemithi eyoyikisayo xa sisamkela isicwangciso sobuchule samahlathi edolophu kunyaka ozayo.

Kodwa abanye banexhala lokuba ezi ndawo zizakushiyeka ngasemva kwakhona.

“Kukho ngamanye amaxesha oku kungafuni ukungaziboni izinto kuba zisenzeka kwenye indawo,” utshilo uCindy Blain, umlawuli olawulayo kwiCarlifonia ReLeaf engenzi nzuzo, etyala imithi kulo lonke ilizwe. Uzimase intlanganiso kawonke-wonke ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ebibanjwe sisixeko ukuze kuxoxwe ngesicwangciso esitsha kwaye ukhumbule ukuba besingenazo iinkcukacha malunga nomba “wolingano.”

“Bekungekho nto ingako apho ngokwempendulo yesixeko,” utshilo uBlain. "Ujonge la manani ahluke kakhulu - njengeepesenti ezingama-30 umahluko - kwaye bekubonakala ngathi akukho mbono yongxamiseko."

Ibhunga lesiXeko bekulindeleke ukuba lamkele esi sicwangciso ngentwasahlobo ka-2019, ngokwewebhusayithi yesixeko. Kodwa amagosa athi ayizukuqukunjelwa kude kube sekuqaleni konyaka ozayo. Ngeli xesha, isixeko sithe siphuhlisa iinjongo ze-canopy ngokusekelwe kusetyenziso lomhlaba kwindawo nganye.

Njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu lukhula ngendlela engxamisekileyo yezinto eziphambili ezidolophini, ezinye izixeko ezikhulu kwilizwe lonke ziye zajika zibe yimithi njengesisombululo.

E-Dallas, amagosa asanda kubhala okokuqala iindawo ezishushu kuneendawo ezisemaphandleni kunye nendlela imithi enokunceda ngayo ukuthoba amaqondo obushushu. Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uSodolophu waseLos Angeles u-Eric Garcetti wafunga ukuba uza kutyala imithi engama-90,000 kule minyaka ilishumi izayo. Isicwangciso sikasodolophu siquka isibhambathiso sokuphinda kabini ikhenopi “kwimivuzo ephantsi, echaphazeleke ngokumandla bubushushu” kubumelwane.

U-Kevin Hocker, umgcini wehlathi wesixeko, uvumile ukuba kukho umahluko. Uthe isixeko kunye nabathetheleli bemithi basekhaya banokohlulwa ukuba umntu ngamnye uza kuyilungisa njani. UHocker ukholelwa ukuba banokusebenzisa iinkqubo ezikhoyo kodwa abaxhasi bafuna isenzo esiqatha. Nangona kunjalo, ingcamango enye kwabelwana ngayo phakathi kweenkampu ezimbini: Imithi iyimfuneko kodwa ifuna imali kunye nokuzinikela ukuze ihlale iphila.

UHocker uthe akaziva ngathi umba wokungalingani "uchazwe kakuhle."

“Wonke umntu uyavuma ukuba kukho ukungalingani kwabantu esixekweni. Andiqondi ukuba kukho nabani na ochaze ngokucacileyo ukuba kutheni kunjalo kwaye zeziphi izenzo ezinokubakho ukulungisa oko, ”utshilo uHocker. “Siyazi ngokubanzi ukuba singatyala imithi emininzi kodwa kwezinye iindawo zedolophu - ngenxa yoyilo okanye indlela emiswe ngayo - amathuba okutyala imithi akakho."

'UNAYE KWAYE AKUNAKHO'
Uninzi lwezona ndawo zindala zaseSacramento zakhiwe ngaphandle nje kwedolophu. Ishumi ngalinye leminyaka emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiBini yazisa igagasi elitsha lophuhliso de isixeko sazaliswa ngamacandelwana amatsha njengoko abantu babesanda.

Kangangexesha elithile, uninzi lweendawo ezakhayo zazingenamithi. Kwaba ngo-1960 xa isixeko sawisa umthetho wokuqala owawufuna ukutyalwa kwemithi kwizahlulo ezitsha. Emva koko izixeko zazicinezelekile ngokwasezimalini nguProposition 13, inyathelo le-1979 elavunywa ngumvoti elalinciphisa irhafu yepropathi eyayisetyenziselwa iinkonzo zikarhulumente.

Kungekudala, isixeko sarhoxa ekusekweni kwemithi ephambi kweeyadi kwaye umthwalo wafudukela kwindawo ehlala abantu ukuze igcinwe. Ngoko xa imithi isifa, njengoko idla ngokusifa, ngenxa yezifo, izinambuzane okanye ukwaluphala, babembalwa abantu ababesenokuyibona okanye babeneendlela zokuyitshintsha.

Lo mzekelo usaqhubeka nanamhlanje.

“ISacramento yidolophu yabantu abanezinto nabangenazinto,” utshilo uKate Riley, ohlala kwindawo yaseRiver Park. Ukuba ujonga iimaphu, singabanye babanemali. Siyingingqi enemithi.”

Imithi igubungela phantse i-36 yepesenti yeRiver Park kwaye uninzi lwemivuzo yamakhaya iphezulu kune-median yommandla. Yaqala ukwakhiwa malunga namashumi asixhenxe eminyaka eyadlulayo ecaleni koMlambo waseMelika.

U-Riley uyavuma ukuba abanye bebengasoloko bekhathalelwa kakhulu kwaye abanye basweleke ngenxa yokwaluphala, kungoko athe wazinikela ngokutyala imithi engaphezulu kwe-100 ukusukela ngo-2014. Ukugcinwa kwemithi inokuba ngumsebenzi onzima nobiza imali eninzi ukuba “iindawo ezingenazo” ziwenze yedwa, utshilo.

“Imiba emininzi ecwangcisiweyo iyayenza mandundu le ngxaki ngokungalingani kwicanopy yemithi,” utshilo uRiley, ohleli kwikomiti ecebisayo yesicwangciso samahlathi edolophu. "Ngomnye umzekelo wendlela isixeko ekufuneka siwunyuse ngayo umdlalo kwaye senze esi sixeko sibe namathuba afanelekileyo kuye wonke umntu."

Ukuwuqonda ngcono umba, iNyosi yenze isethi yedatha kuvavanyo lwamva nje loqikelelo lwendawo yokuhlala yecanopy kwaye yadityaniswa nedatha yedemographic evela kwi-US Census Bureau. Siphinde saqokelela idatha yoluntu ngenani lemithi egcinwe sisixeko kwaye siyimaphu kwindawo nganye.

Kwezinye iimeko, iiyantlukwano zihluke phakathi kwendawo efana ne-River Park kunye ne-Del Paso Heights, uluntu olusenyakatho yeSacramento emngceleni we-Interstate 80. I-canopy yomthi ijikeleze i-16 ekhulwini kwaye ingeniso eninzi yekhaya iwela ngaphantsi kwe-75,000 yeedola.

Sesinye sezizathu zokuba uFatima Malik atyale amakhulu emithi kwiipaki ezikufutshane neDel Paso Heights. Kungekudala emva kokujoyina iipaki zesixeko kunye nekomishini yokutyebisa uluntu, uMalik ukhumbule ukugxekwa kwintlanganiso yabahlali malunga nemeko yemithi yepaki.

Imithi yayifa kwaye kubonakala ngathi akukho cebo lokuba isixeko sithathe indawo yayo. Abahlali babefuna ukwazi ukuba uza kwenza ntoni ngaloo nto. Njengoko uMalik ebalisa, ucele umngeni kwigumbi ngokubuza ukuba siza kwenza ntoni na ngepaki.

I-Alliance ye-Del Paso Heights Growers 'yadalwa ngaphandle kwaloo ntlanganiso. Ekupheleni konyaka, lo mbutho uza kugqibezela umsebenzi wenkxaso-mali yawo yesibini yokutyala imithi engaphezu kwama-300 kwiipaki zedolophu ezintlanu kunye negadi yoluntu.

Nangona kunjalo, uMalik uyavuma ukuba iiprojekthi zepaki “zibelula ukuphumelela” kuba imithi yesitalato iyinzuzo enkulu eluntwini. Ukutyala ezo "ngomnye umdlalo webhola" oza kufuna igalelo kunye nezixhobo ezongezelelweyo esixekweni, utshilo.

Ukuba ummelwane uya kufumana nayiphi na ngumbuzo ovulekileyo.

"Ngokucacileyo siyazi ukuba ngokwembali iSithili se-2 asizange sityalwe imali okanye senze into ephambili njengoko kufanelekile," kusho uMalik. “Asikhombani ngeminwe okanye sityhola nabani na kodwa ngenxa yeenyani esijongene nazo sifuna ukusebenzisana nesixeko ukubanceda benze umsebenzi wabo ngcono.”

IMITHI: INKXOLO ENTSHA YEMPILO
Kunokubakho okuninzi okusemngciphekweni kuluntu olungenamithi kunokudinwa kancinane kobushushu. Ubungqina buye banyuka iminyaka malunga neenzuzo ezisisiseko ezinikezelwa yi-canopy kwimpilo yomntu.

URay Tretheway, umlawuli olawulayo weSacramento Tree Foundation, waqala wayiva le ngcamango kwinkomfa xa isithethi sathi: ikamva lamahlathi asezidolophini yimpilo yoluntu.

Intetho yatyala imbewu kwaye kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo iSiseko soMthi sanceda ngemali yokufunda eSacramento County. Ngokungafaniyo nophando lwangaphambili, oluphonononge indawo eluhlaza, kubandakanywa iipaki, kugxilwe kuphela kwi-canopy yemithi nokuba ingaba nayo nayiphi na impembelelo kwiziphumo zempilo ebumelwaneni.

Baye bafumanisa ukuba ukhuseleko lomthi olungaphezulu lunxulunyaniswa nempilo engcono iyonke kwaye iye yanefuthe elisezantsi, uxinzelelo lwegazi, isifo seswekile kunye nesifo sombefu, ngokophononongo luka-2016 olupapashwe kwijenali iHealth & Place.

“Ibiyinto yamehlo,” utshilo uTretheway. "Sicingisise nzulu kwaye sahlengahlengisa iinkqubo zethu ukulandela olu lwazi lutsha."

Isifundo sokuqala esifundiweyo yayikukubeka phambili ezona ndawo zisemngciphekweni kakhulu, utshilo. Bahlala besokola ziintlango zokutya, ukunqongophala kwemisebenzi, izikolo ezingaqhubi kakuhle kunye nokungonelanga kwezothutho.

“Iyantlukwano icace gca apha eSacramento nakwilizwe liphela,” utshilo uTretheway.

"Ukuba uhlala kwindawo enemivuzo ephantsi okanye engenazo izixhobo zokusebenza, uqinisekile ukuba awuyi kuba naso nasiphi na isixa somthi ukwenza umahluko omkhulu kumgangatho wobomi okanye impilo yendawo ohlala kuyo."

I-Tretheway iqikelela ukuba ubuncinane bemithi yesitrato engama-200,000 kufuneka ityalwe kwiminyaka elishumi ezayo ukuze ifike kwinani elilinganayo lemithi kwiindawo ezinqweneleka ngakumbi. Imigibe yolo hambo mininzi.

ISiseko soMthi siyayazi le nto yokuqala. Ngentsebenziswano ne-SMUD, abangenzi nzuzo banikezela ngamawaka emithi ngonyaka simahla. Kodwa i-saplings kufuneka ijongwe ngokusondeleyo - ngakumbi kwiminyaka emithathu ukuya kwemihlanu yokuqala emhlabeni.

Kwiintsuku zayo zokuqala ngeminyaka yoo-1980, amavolontiya aphuma ecaleni kwecandelo lezorhwebo laseFranklin Boulevard ukubeka imithi emhlabeni, watsho. Kwakungekho migca yokutyala ngoko ke basika imingxuma kwikhonkrithi.

Ngaphandle kwabasebenzi abaneleyo, ukulandelwa kuye kwaqhwala. Kwafa imithi. UTretheway wafunda isifundo: “Yindawo esemngciphekweni kakhulu kwaye inomngcipheko omkhulu wokutyala imithi ecaleni kwezitrato zorhwebo.”

Ubungqina obuninzi beza kamva. Umfundi ophumelele u-UC Berkeley wafunda inkqubo yomthi womthunzi kunye ne-SMUD kwaye wapapasha iziphumo kwi-2014. Abaphandi balandelela ngaphezu kwe-400 imithi esasazwayo kwiminyaka emihlanu ukuze babone ukuba bangaphi abaya kusinda.

Imithi emincinci eqhube kakuhle kakhulu yayikwingingqi ezinobunini bezindlu obuzinzileyo. Kwafa imithi engaphezu kwe-100; Ama-66 awazange atyalwe. UTretheway wafunda esinye isifundo: “Sibeke imithi emininzi phaya kodwa ayisoloko isinda.”

UKUTSHINTSHA KWEMOZULU KUNYE NEMITHI
Kwabanye abacwangcisi basezidolophini kunye nabemithi, umsebenzi wokutyala imithi yasezitalatweni, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezingakhathalelwanga, ubaluleke kakhulu njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu yehlabathi luguqula okusingqongileyo.

Imithi inceda ukulwa neengozi ezingabonakaliyo kwimpilo yabantu njenge-ozone kunye nongcoliseko lwamasuntswana. Banokunceda ekwehliseni amaqondo obushushu ezitalatweni kufutshane nezikolo kunye nezikhululo zeebhasi apho abanye babona basemngciphekweni njengabantwana kunye nabantu abadala bahlala rhoqo.

"Imithi iya kudlala indima enkulu ekubanjeni ikhabhoni kunye nokunciphisa umphumo wesiqithi sokushisa kwedolophu," kusho u-Stacy Springer, umphathi oyintloko we-Breathe California kwingingqi ye-Sacramento. "Isebenza njengesisombululo esingabizi kakhulu - esinye semininzi - kweminye yemicimbi esijongene nayo kuluntu lwethu."

Inani leentsuku zokushisa okukhulu kwi-Sacramento linokuphindaphinda kathathu kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu ezayo, ukwandisa inani lokufa kwabantu ngenxa yezifo ezinxulumene nobushushu, ngokwengxelo evela kwi-Natural Resources Defense Council.

Imithi inokunciphisa iziphumo zamaqondo obushushu kodwa kuphela xa ityalwe ngokulinganayo.

UBlain, umalathisi oyintloko weKhalifoniya ReLeaf wathi: “Nokuba uqhuba ngesitrato unokubona ukuba ixesha elininzi ukuba yindawo ehluphekayo ayisayi kuba nemithi emininzi.

“Ukuba ujonga kwilizwe liphela, oku kunjalo kakhulu. Okwangoku, iCalifornia njengelizwe iyazi kakhulu ukuba kukho ukungalingani kwezentlalo. ”

UBlain uthe urhulumente unikezela ngezibonelelo ezijolise kuluntu olufumana imivuzo ephantsi ngenkqubo yayo ye-cap kunye neyorhwebo, efunyenwe yiCalifornia ReLeaf.
