Infiltration galleries:A type of infiltration system that uses a series of interconnected underground chambers to collect and store water. The chambers are typically made of concrete, plastic, or metal and are installed below the ground surface. Water enters the chambers through infiltration basins or other types of catchment areas, and is then stored until it is needed.
Inflorescence:A group or cluster of flowers that are borne on a single stalk. Inflorescences can be either terminal, meaning they are located at the end of the stalk, or axillary, meaning they are located in the axils (the angle between the stem and leaves) of the leaves. The type of inflorescence produced by a plant depends on its species and variety.
Inner bark:The layer of tissue that lies between the outer bark and the woody core of a tree trunk or branch. The inner bark is composed of living cells that transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and food from the leaves to the rest of the tree. It also helps protect the tree from pests and diseases.
Inoculum:A substance that contains live microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses) that are used to inoculate (introduce) them into another substance (such as soil or water). Inoculums can be used for a variety of purposes, such as increasing crop yields, improving water quality, or controlling disease outbreaks.
Inorganic: not consisting of or derived from living matter.
