Hetty Ninnis Hetty Ninnis, an Eden Project horticulturist and trained rope technician emerges from the plant canopy inside the tropical biodome of the Eden Project on May 7, 2009 in Falmouth, England. The tree - which was grown from a seedling ten years ago - has out grown the 50 metre high biodome which houses the largest rain forest in captivity in the world's largest greenhouse. The Eden Project in Cornwall - which opened in 2001 and has attracted over ten million visitors - showcases 100,000 plants from around the world in two giant transparent domes, each recreating different climate conditions. Both domes are made of hexagons of tough plastic with the first dome emulating a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate, Mediterranean environment.

Source of the text: http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8k.html u19976062 2010/2011 Canopy drip Some plants have an architecture that directs rainfall or snowfall along the edge of the plant canopy (purple arrows) This is especially true of coniferous vegetation. On the ground, canopy drip creates areas with higher moisture content that are located in a narrow band at the edge of the plant canopy.

It is an index of canopy density that compares the foliage surface area to the ground area beneath the canopy. It is strictly defined as one-half the total green leaf area per unit of ground surface area. Estimates of LAI are used as an ecophysiological measure of the effective photosynthetic and transpirational surface within a canopy, which has important implications for modelling net primary production and evapotranspiration between forests and the atmosphere. It is important to note however, that LAI is less frequently used to drive ecosystem carbon models due to the more direct association of FPAR with photosynthesis.

This process lasts between 72 and 96 hrs.This process is one of the key stages in the elaboration, which is done in open containers without applying additional heat.

American Oak Barrels are used for the aging process, which goes from 2 up to 9 months, depending on the type of product. Unlike other distilleries, that use enormous barrels, our tequila ages in 200 liter barrels, assuring more contact of the tequila with the oak.
