Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passion and urgency that inspired WWI and WWII Victory Gardens is needed today to meet another threat to our food supply and our environment—the steep decline of pollinators. The Pollinator Victory Garden offers practical solutions for winning the war against the demise of these essential animals. Pollinators are critical to our food supply and responsible for the pollination of the vast majority of all flowering plants on our planet. Pollinators include not just bees, but many different types of animals, including insects and mammals. Beetles, bats, birds, butterflies, moths, flies, and wasps can be pollinators. But, many pollinators are in trouble, and the reality is that most of our landscapes have little to offer them. Our residential and commercial landscapes are filled with vast green pollinator deserts, better known as lawns. These monotonous green expanses are ecological wastelands for bees and other pollinators. With The Pollinator Victory Garden, you can give pollinators a fighting chance. Learn how to transition your landscape into a pollinator haven by creating a habitat that includes pollinator nutrition, larval host plants for butterflies and moths, and areas for egg laying, nesting, sheltering, overwintering, resting, and warming. Find a wealth of information to support pollinators while improving the environment around you: • The importance of pollinators and the specific threats to their survival• How to provide food for pollinators using native perennials, trees, and shrubs that bloom in succession• Detailed profiles of the major pollinator types and how to attract and support each one• Tips for creating and growing a Pollinator Victory Garden, including site assessment, planning, and planting goals• Project ideas like pollinator islands, enriched landscape edges, revamped foundation plantings, meadowscapes, and other pollinator-friendly lawn alternatives The time is right for a new gardening movement. Every yard, community garden, rooftop, porch, patio, commercial, and municipal landscape can help to win the war against pollinator decline with The Pollinator Victory Garden.

Download or read book Bringing Nature Home written by Douglas W. Tallamy and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With the twinned calamities of climate change and mass extinction weighing heavier and heavier on my nature-besotted soul, here were concrete, affordable actions that I could take, that anyone could take, to help our wild neighbors thrive in the built human environment. And it all starts with nothing more than a seed. Bringing Nature Home is a miracle: a book that summons butterflies." —Margaret Renkl, The Washington Post As development and habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. In his groundbreaking book Bringing Nature Home, Douglas W. Tallamy reveals the unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife—native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. Luckily, there is an important and simple step we can all take to help reverse this alarming trend: everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity by simply choosing native plants. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical and achievable recommendations, we can all make a difference.

Download or read book The Ecology of Common Woody Plants of Cape Cod written by Gary R. Sanford and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological characteristics of woody plants (i.e. trees, shrubs, and vines) that are common on Cape Cod make up the central theme of this book. After a brief introductory chapter concerning Cape Cod as a setting for plant growth in unmanaged environments, fifty-three plants are discussed. The reader will find a photograph and short description of each plant's appearance, followed by a discussion of ecological features that play a role in the plant's ability to establish, grow, and reproduce in particular environments. As a rule, ecological information includes habitat affinities, successional status, shade tolerance, sexual and asexual reproductive characteristics, seed dispersal and germination, rooting features, adaptations allowing survival during and after fire, and wildlife utilization. An “Information Sources” section, usually consisting of two or more references that are generally available on the web, is included for each plant so that the reader may easily pursue further information.How plants are able to contend with and flourish in particular habitats is an extraordinary topic. Perhaps this book will increase the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the natural world that supports our existence.

Download or read book Plant Ecology Interior Cape Cod written by Gary R Sanford and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Plant Ecology - Interior Cape Cod" presents a broad array of ecological information important to the presence, distribution, and abundance of plants in the wild. Ecological synopses of fifty plant species are included in this book, with the aim of discussing plant adaptations in context with their immediate environment. Careful observations of plants as they occur in nature can lead to a deep understanding and appreciation of their ecology. The inner Cape region is offered as an observation platform, which may enhance the reader's awareness of ecological principles. Information on the location of plant communities and various plant species found along nine mid-cape trail systems is included. Trails are located within the interior of Cape Cod, away from the immediate coastline. Included species have wide distributions and can be found both on and off Cape Cod. Those readers without access to mid-cape trails can still profit from ecological discussions included herein, particularly if local areas supporting these plants are found and examined. My intention in writing this book is to allow a wide spectrum of readers access to information and concepts related to plant ecology. An effort has been made to minimize specialized terminology and, when unavoidable, to define or describe such terms. Additionally, discussions are qualitative, and statistical analyses are avoided. Despite this approach, many advanced concepts are included, and the more advanced reader may also profit from material herein.
