Water Conservation Through Facilitation on Residential Landscapes
Plants can have positive effects on each other in numerous ways, including protection from harsh environmental conditions. This phenomenon, known as facilitation, occurs in water-stressed environments when shade from larger shrubs protects smaller annuals from harsh sun, enabling them to exist on scarce water. The topic of this paper is a model of this phenomenon that allows search algorithms t...
متن کاملChemically-Treated Composted Biosolids Enhance Water Conservation and Quality on Urban Landscapes
Water conservation is a priority in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and other major Texas cities that routinely face water shortages and drought. Soil management is fundamental to water conservation efforts. Incorporation of composted biosolids (CB) in low quality soils can enhance water conservation and provide organic carbon and nutrients that improve growth of vegetation and limit sediment loss...
متن کاملConservation in human-modified landscapes
In the previous two chapters, we learn about the importance and difficulties of prioritizing areas for conservation (Chapter 11), and the management of endangered species in these habitats (Chapter 12). In this chapter, we discuss the challenges of conserving biodiversity in degraded and modified landscapes with a focus on the tropical terrestrial biome, which is undergoing rapid deforestation ...

متن کاملConservation biological control in urban landscapes: Manipulating parasitoids of bagworm (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) with Xowering forbs
We conducted Weld experiments to test the hypothesis that regulation of herbivorous pests in urban landscapes can be enhanced with forbs that provide Xoral resources for adult natural enemies. The herbivore was bagworm, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis (Haworth) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), which is attacked by a guild of hymenopterous parasitoids. We established host shrubs in common garden planting...
