Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This guide covers some factors to consider when planning and implementing critical area seedings and conservation plantings. It discusses the differences between critical area stabilization, conservation plantings and restoration with an emphasis on critical area stabilization. The use of native species, diversity and the concern for the spread of invasive species is emphasized. It points out the importance of soils and building and maintain soil quality as and integral part of all conservation plantings. It addresses the need for other measures to control erosion where needed to withstand high velocities of water and to divert water to facilitate successful seedings. It stresses mulching as an integral part of most critical area seedings and planting. The guide is divided into sectors based on the steps in conducting conservation plantings starting with planning, selecting plant material, purchasing plant materials to installing the seeding or planting, and not by plant type."--Back cover.
Download or read book A Guide to Native Plants of the New York City Region written by Margaret B. Gargiullo and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is no secret that with each new office park, strip mall, and housing development that slices through the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut landscape, more and more indigenous plant habitats are being destroyed. Concrete, after all, is not a friendly neighbor to vegetative life. Less common wisdom, however, holds that plants native to this region have been disappearing rapidly for a variety of reasons, and some of the causes can be avoided, even as construction projects continue to move in. One of the most serious threats to indigenous plants is the introduction of invasive non-native species by landscapers after new developments are built. In this unique guide, ecologist Margaret B. Gargiullo presents a detailed look at the full scope of flora that is native to this region and available for propagation. She offers practical advice on how to increase the amount of indigenous flora growing in the metropolitan area, and in some cases, to reintroduce plants that have completely disappeared. More than one hundred line drawings of plants and their specific habitats, ranging from forests to beaches, help readers visualize the full potential for landscaping in the area. A separate entry for each plant also provides detailed information on size, flower color, blooming time, and its possible uses in wetland mitigation, erosion control, and natural area restoration. Some plants are also highlighted for their ability to thrive in areas that are typically considered inhospitable to greenery. Geared specifically for landscape architects, designers, land managers, and restorationists, and easily searchable by plant type or habitat, this guide is an essential reference for everyone concerned with the regionas native plant life. Since most of the plants can also be grown well beyond the New York City metropolitan area, this book will also be useful for project managers doing restoration work in most of southern New England and the mid-Atlantic region, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland."

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City's municipal water supply system provides about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 8.5 million people in New York City and about 1 million people living in nearby Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, and Orange counties. The combined water supply system includes 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons. The city's Watershed Protection Program is intended to maintain and enhance the high quality of these surface water sources. Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program assesses the efficacy and future of New York City's watershed management activities. The report identifies program areas that may require future change or action, including continued efforts to address turbidity and responding to changes in reservoir water quality as a result of climate change.
