Book Synopsis Roadside Revegetation by : David E. Steinfeld
Download or read book Roadside Revegetation written by David E. Steinfeld and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native plants are a foundation of ecological function, affecting soil conservation, wildlife habitat, plant communities, invasive species, and water quality. Establishing locally-adapted, self-sustaining plant communities can also support transportation goals for safety and efficiency. Past obstacles to establishing native plant communities on roadsides have been technical, informational, and organizational. Effective strategies and practical techniques for revegetating the disturbed conditions with limited resources must be made available to practitioners. Multiple disciplines, ranging from engineering to soil science, ecology, botany, and wildlife science, must be able to work cooperatively, not in isolation. This report offers an integrated approach to facilitate the successful establishment of native plants along roadsides and other areas of disturbance associated with road modifications. It guides readers through a comprehensive process of: 1) initiating, 2) planning, 3) implementing, and 4) monitoring a roadside revegetating project with native plants.

Book Synopsis Germination of Local Native Plant Seed by : Murray Ralph
Download or read book Germination of Local Native Plant Seed written by Murray Ralph and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small booklet which has been produced to cater for the increasing demand for information on the growing of indigenous or local native plants for planting and direct seeding projects. Growing interest in revegetation has meant that a much greater range of native plant species are being grown, but information to successfully propagate these species has not been widely available. The first chapter outlines the reasons why local native plants should be grown. The second chapter examines seed germination, viability and dormancy. The third chapter provides information on the propagation of over five hundred native genera or species. Includes a bibliography.
Book Synopsis Roadside Use of Native Plants by : Bonnie Harper-Lore
Download or read book Roadside Use of Native Plants written by Bonnie Harper-Lore and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Natural Environment to promote the planting and care of native plants along highway rights-of-way, this unique handbook provides managers of roadsides and adjacent lands with the information and background they need to make site-specific decisions about what kinds of native plants to use, and addresses basic techniques and misconceptions about using native plants. It brings together in a single volume a vast array of detailed information that has, until now, been scattered and difficult to find.The book opens with eighteen short essays on principles of ecological restoration and management from leading experts in the field including Reed F. Noss, J. Baird Callicott, Peggy Olwell, and Evelyn Howell. Following that is the heart of the book, more than 500 pages of comprehensive state-by-state listings that offer: a color map for each state with natural vegetations zones clearly marked comprehensive lists of native plants, broken down by type of plant (grasses, forbs, trees, etc.) and including both scientific and common names, with each list having been verified for completeness and accuracy by the state's natural heritage program contact names, addresses, and phone numbers for obtaining current information on invasive and noxious species to be avoided resources for more information, including contact names and addresses for local experts in each state The appendix adds definitions, bibliography, and policy citations to clarify any debates about the purpose and the direction of the use of native plants on roadsides.Roadside Use of Native Plants is a one-of-a-kind reference whose utility extends far beyond the roadside, offering a toolbox for a new aesthetic that can be applied to all kinds of public and private land. It can help lead the way to a cost-effective ecological approach to managing human-designed landscapes, and is an essential book for anyone interested in establishing or restoring native vegetation.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to fulfil the need for a document to address the specifics of native revegetation that are not adequately covered by a guideline. It assists anyone in Alberta who has to plan native plant revegetation projects or carryout the revegetation. It provides specific information on native revegetation planning, information sources, final land-use considerations, salvaging or otherwise obtaining native plant materials, field operations (site preparation, seeding, planting, ensuring establishment success), management, monitoring, and assessment. Appendices include a glossary, a list of Websites & contacts for further information, a methodology for calculating seeding rates, and a table showing native plant species & their characteristics.
Book Synopsis Guidelines for Native Seed Production and Grassland Restoration by : Kathrin Kiehl
Download or read book Guidelines for Native Seed Production and Grassland Restoration written by Kathrin Kiehl and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-wide, the degradation and destruction of both natural and traditionally used semi-natural ecosystems is drastically increasing. Unfortunately, commercial seed mixtures, consisting of non-native species and genetically uniform cultivars, are widely used in grassland restoration, often with negative effects on biodiversity. Therefore, native species should be used in the ecological restoration of natural and semi-natural vegetation. This book compiles results from recent studies presented at a Special Session “Native seed production and use in restoration projects”, which was organised during the 8th European Conference on Ecological Restoration in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. The authors review the ecological and genetic aspects of seed propagation and species introduction both from a European and an American perspective, and discuss implications for the development of seed zones and for native seed production. Examples from different countries focus on native seed production in practice, and suggest different approaches for the certification of seed provenance. Best practice examples from Europe and the United States are used to indicate the advantages of using native seeds for ecological restoration of grasslands, field margins and sagebrush steppe. Finally, this volume also provides guidelines for the successful implementation of restoration projects for local authorities, landscape planners and NGOs in order to bridge gaps between research and practice.

Book Synopsis Rewilding European Landscapes by : Henrique M. Pereira
Download or read book Rewilding European Landscapes written by Henrique M. Pereira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some European lands have been progressively alleviated of human pressures, particularly traditional agriculture in remote areas. This book proposes that this land abandonment can be seen as an opportunity to restore natural ecosystems via rewilding. We define rewilding as the passive management of ecological successions having in mind the long-term goal of restoring natural ecosystem processes. The book aims at introducing the concept of rewilding to scientists, students and practitioners. The first part presents the theory of rewilding in the European context. The second part of the book directly addresses the link between rewilding, biodiversity, and habitats. The third and last part is dedicated to practical aspects of the implementation of rewilding as a land management option. We believe that this book will both set the basis for future research on rewilding and help practitioners think about how rewilding can take place in areas under their management.
