Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Minnesota to Moscow — how to grow fresh figs in cold climates Growing Figs in Cold Climates is a complete, full-color, illustrated guide to organic methods for growing delicious figs in cold climates, well outside the traditional hot, arid home of this ancient fruiting tree. Coverage includes: Five methods for growing figs in cold climates including overwintering Cultivar selection for cool and cold climates Pruning techniques for a variety of methods of growing figs in cold climates Pest problems and solutions Harvesting, including ways to speed ripening, identify ripe fruit, and manage an overabundance Small-scale commercial fig production in cold climates. Fresh figs are juicy, full-bodied, and filled with a honey-sweet flavor, and because truly ripe figs are highly perishable, they are only available to those who grow their own. By choosing the right cultivars and techniques, figs can be grown across cool and cold growing zones of North America, Europe, and beyond, putting them within reach of almost every gardener. Easy and delicious — if you can grow a houseplant, you can grow a fig.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban forestry is a concept applied to many cities, municipalities, and communities around the world. It is the practice of managing the interface between urban infrastructure and environmental green spaces. An invasive insect known as the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) has been devastating urban forests in southern Ontario since 2002. Larval feeding on ash (Fraxinus spp) can kill a tree in 3-5 years. Emerald ash borer (EAB) has been moving northward eliminating trees by the thousands, and was discovered in the City of Barrie in 2014. In order to manage for EAB, it is crucial to know where the ash trees are located. The City of Barrie has an inventory of publicly owned trees, but not of those on private property. In addition, the public may not be fully aware of the devastating effects of EAB on the urban forest and the associated management strategies. Obtaining the private ash tree inventory depends on residents to self-report on signs of EAB. Current aerial imagery for the City of Barrie was converted into a format suitable for common smart devices. It can be used as a visual aid in communicating the threat of EAB, and to highlight high risk areas. A pilot project of an urban forest health volunteer network was conducted successfully in the Town of Oakville in 2014. The same process of community engagement and urban forest management was demonstrated through a sample inventory in the City of Barrie. The data combined with the imagery is a crucial aid in developing an early detection rapid response management plan for the City. Future possibilities resulting from this thesis project could be the creation of an online database where members of the public can access the digital imagery, self-report on private trees, and remain informed on urban forest management strategies.

Download or read book Structured Decision Making written by Robin Gregory and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the creative process of making environmental management decisions using the approach called Structured Decision Making. It is a short introductory guide to this popular form of decision making and is aimed at environmental managers and scientists. This is a distinctly pragmatic label given to ways for helping individuals and groups think through tough multidimensional choices characterized by uncertain science, diverse stakeholders, and difficult tradeoffs. This is the everyday reality of environmental management, yet many important decisions currently are made on an ad hoc basis that lacks a solid value-based foundation, ignores key information, and results in selection of an inferior alternative. Making progress – in a way that is rigorous, inclusive, defensible and transparent – requires combining analytical methods drawn from the decision sciences and applied ecology with deliberative insights from cognitive psychology, facilitation and negotiation. The authors review key methods and discuss case-study examples based in their experiences in communities, boardrooms, and stakeholder meetings. The goal of this book is to lay out a compelling guide that will change how you think about making environmental decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmare (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is an invasive wood-boring beetle from Asia. Believed to have been introduced on wooden packaging materials in the early 1990s it was first discovered in the United States in 2002. Since this initial discovery it has spread to 32 states as well as two Canadian provinces. The primary host of EAB is ash trees (Fraxinus spp.), in which EAB can cause mortality in as little as four years. To mitigate the spread and impact of this invasive pest, management plans incorporating the use of conventional pesticides and biological control agents were developed. Of these biological control agents, three larval parasitoids native to the same area as EAB were chosen: Spathius agrili Yang (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Spathius galinae Belokobylskij and Strazanac (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), and Tetrastichus planipennisi Yang (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Along with these introduced parasitoids, several native parasitoids have been evaluated as potential biological control agents of EAB in the United States.A two-year research project to enhance our knowledge of natural enemies of EAB and to assess introduced parasitoids of EAB in the southern United States was initiated. The primary research goals of this project were to: 1) assess establishment of introduced parasitoids and incidence of potential native parasitoids of EAB, 2) determine seasonality and phenological synchrony of EAB and its introduced parasitoids in a southern climate, and 3) assess native parasitoids of EAB and their potential for rearing and release.The results of this research will provide essential knowledge on the current status of introduced parasitoids of EAB in the south as well as insights into the native parasitoids of EAB. This information will inform executive decisions on the management of EAB as a whole and will help to guide future biological control efforts.
