Why Can’t bamboo stem grow bold ?

Bamboo is a kind of evergreen plant whose stem is usually columniform. The stem is empty inside and grows in sections with a knot between each one.The bamboo we see , grows taller and taller year by year, but its stem  doesn’t  grow bigger  by day as the tree does. Why?

It is for the reason that bamboo is monocotyledon and  there isn’t cambium in the stem of monocotyledon . However, common trees are dicotyledon. There is a very thin cambium between their phloem and xylem each. The cambium is essential for plant to grow bigger. The cambium undergoes cell division each year and then produces new phloems and xylems. By this way, the stem becomes bigger year by year. Plants like bamboo category do not have any cambium , so once their stems emerge out of the ground they will have been shaped. Even though they grow many more years ,they won’t grow bigger .

Bamboo Building

Once upon a time, I saw a bamboo building, surrounded by many bamboo, appearing in the TV series,” The Journey to the West”. It was a house in Yunnan. I was greatly attracted by its simpleness in style, light green in color and beauty in appearance. I had a dream to live in such building one day in the future.

Though I can not realize my dream now, I have deep interest in bamboo building and I look up information about it as more as possible. And now I am able to say something about bamboo building.

In Colombia, an architect, Simon Velez, has designed one of the world’s largest bamboo structures, a polo clubhouse. He has built many bamboo buildings, raging ranging from private residences to lodges. Why can bamboo be used to build a building? What are the advantages to do so? So, let us come to the quality of bamboo first.

Bamboo offers advantages over many conventional building materials, fast-growing, quick-maturing, hardy, flexible, strong and renewable. And its high-density strength — in some ways stronger than steel, concrete and spruce — is due to its high content of silicates. Its reproduction rate is astounding. It is said that its regeneration rate is so much better than tree forests. How surprise it is, isn’t it? What is more, bamboo fibers can be superior to wood. It can replace mature fiber every three and a half years.

When harvesting soft woods on a 50- to 60-year cycle, what’s being harvested is juvenile fiber. And bamboo offers more dimensional stability. Maybe, these are all the reasons why bamboo can be used to build a building, I think.

Above all, building a building by using bamboo is becoming a good choice to do no harm to the environment according to its great quality. And I will try my best to live in a bamboo building in the future.

In the moderm times,dried  bamboo shoots and tinned bamboo shoots have become important exports,and have won a good reputation all over the world.

The nutrient contents in bamboo shoots  Fresh bamboo shoots contain 2.65% protein, 0.45% fat, a totall amount of 2.5% sugar, 1.53% soluble sugar, 0.68% over sized fibres, some elements like phosphorus,magnesium,iron and calcium and many kinds of vitamins like vitamin B1,B2 and C.

However the nutritons contained in each kind of bamboo shoots vary from one another according to the categories of the stems under the ground. In 100 grams fresh bamboo shoots,there is 3.28 grams protein in the monopodial bamboo shoots in average and only 0.782grams in the cespitose. The protein in the cespitose bamboo shoots is only 59.6% of that in the monopodial bamboo shoots.

Among the same type bamboo , the protein amount is also different from each other. As a rule, the smaller bamboo shoots have more protein. And among the same species, the amount of protein in the bamboo shoots are different because of the different time of  the harvest, for example, the winter shoots of moso bamboo contain 13.41% more protein than that in their spring shoots.

Bamboo and Paper Making

Our country is abundant in bamboo resource, and is famous as a Bamboo Kingdom. Now we have bamboo in 39 categories and 370 kinds. And the bamboo grove covers an area of 0.42 million hectares. Chinese bamboo’s category , the bamboo grove area , and bamboo product rank top one in the world. Bamboo is a kind of quick-grow plant resource. It grows very fast, it is easy to propagate,its period is short , its single birth is high. Once we plant the bamboos ,they will spring up shoots and become mature bamboos within three or five years. Each year people can cut down some of them properly,they can be in use forever.

 However, in our country, the row material of the wood fiber for paper making is still in short supply. The non-wood fiber is still an important material for paper making. Bamboo fiber belongs to middle and long fiber, and its length is between the length of the softwood pulp and the hardwood pulp. It is of great feature for paper making, and it is one of the better non-wood fiber materials for paper making.Bamboo pulp can be used to produce not only the fine quality daily use paper, but also some high quality and slap-up culture paper when some commercial wood pulp is added. Therefore, it is an important means to solve the problem of lacking wood pulp for paper by replacing the wood with bamboo.

     The cespitose bamboo grow faster and have higher output than those open bamboo. And from the aspects of the fiber configuration and the    content of cellulose, the cespitose bamboo are better than the open bamboo as paper making material. The bamboo groves aimed at paper making should plant cespitose bamboo mainly. The bamboo fiber is longer,such as green skin bamboo,neosinocalamus affinis ,lingania distegia,bambusa chungii,dendrocalamus affinis,green bamboo,bendrocalamus giganteus munro, and whangee and so on.
