Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Range Plant Handbook Quackgrass (a. Repens), a perennial, is native to Europe but widely distributed in the United States and is on the increase in the West. It is frequently a pernicious weed in many agricultural lands but is valuable as a range plant, and constitutes a good soil binder for railway embankments and other cuts or slopes. It serves as a satisfactory hay plant for 2 or 3 years but then becomes sod bound. Quackgrass is rather coarse with bright yellowish green, scaly rootstocks which contain considerable sugar and triticin, a carbohydrate similar to inulin, valuable for treatment of kidney disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Range Grasses of California To apply the best methods of range management, the stockman must be able to judge the condition of the range for himself. To do this he must know the principal forage plants, their period of life, and their requirements as to reproduction. The illustrated keys, brief descriptions, and pictures of the plants should assist him in this. The purpose of this bulletin is (1) to familiarize stockmen with the more important grasses of the State and show where they grow, and (2) to point out their forage value and the conditions under which the different kinds reproduce under grazing. This is a necessary pre liminary to the development of state-wide range reseeding methods now under investigation. In the preparation of this paper the authors have made use of the valuable collections and data in the grass herbarium of the United States Department of Agriculture. Several Of the illustrations were lent by the Department. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Texas and Oklahoma Handbook for Range Conservation: 1940 Range Conservation Program The purpose of the 1940 Range Conservation Program is the con servation of soil on range land. Need for conserving the range in Texas and Oklahoma arises from the fact that the original grazing capacity has been gradually cut down by droughts, overgrazing, rodents, and noxious plants, all of which increase soil erosion. Gradual depletion of grass not only has meant a serious loss of forage to stockmen, but also has left the fertile topsoil of large areas of range land exposed to erosion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Succession in Relation to Range Management: August 27, 1919 List of publications relating to plant succession, page 4 of cover. Observations Of the abundance and luxuriance of the forage supply and upon the condition of the stock grazed. The depletion of the lands is seldom recognized by these general observations until their carrying capacity has been materially reduced, or until the annals grazed are in poor condition of flesh. So long as the cover is more or less intact, there is little indication that the range is being slowly but certainly depleted; the depletion is not recognized until the more palatable and important forage species are in low vigor, and their growth and reproduction seriously impaired, or perhaps not until a large proportion of the plants actually have been killed. Until there is insufficient feed to support the animals, they will retain their con dition of flesh fairly well; but long before there is insufficient feed to satisfy their appetites a large portion of the vegetation is killed. To reestablish the stand after impoverishment has reached such an advanced stage requires many seasons of most skillful management.

Download or read book Flora of the Pacific Northwest written by C. Leo Hitchcock and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flora of the Pacific Northwest, first published in 1973, became an instant classic for its innovative style of providing species descriptions in the identification keys, and for its comprehensive illustrations of nearly all treated taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Students rely on it as an essential primer, while veteran botanists and natural resource managers use it as the definitive reference for the region�s flora. This completely revised and updated edition captures the advances in vascular plant systematics over the decades since publication of the first edition. These advances, together with significant changes in plant nomenclature, the description of taxa new to science from the region, and the recent documentation of new native and nonnative species in the Pacific Northwest required a thorough revision of this authoritative work. Flora of the Pacific Northwest covers all of Washington, the northern half of Oregon, Idaho north of the Snake River Plain, the mountainous portion of western Montana, and the southern portion of British Columbia. It accounts for the wild-growing native and introduced vascular plants falling within those boundaries and includes: Treatment of 5,545 taxa (more than 1,000 taxa added from the first edition) Illustrations for 4,716 taxa (1,382 more than the first edition) Nomenclature changes for more than 40 percent of the taxa included in the first edition These enhancements make this new edition the most comprehensive reference on Pacific Northwest vascular plants for professional and amateur botanists, ecologists, rare plant biologists, plant taxonomy instructors, land managers, nursery professionals, and gardeners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 5 The Garden, as now improved, includes approximately forty-five acres, devoted to a formal flower garden, various synopses of botanical or economical significance, a fruticetum, an arboretum, and a moderate sized range of houses, some of old model and others of recent construc tion in accordance with the present practice in plant-house building. The planting in these divisions the Garden is in part formal, in part natural, and, while the transitions are not always satisfactory, the ex treme representations of the two methods are fairly successful. In the plant-houses, in addition to ranges furnished with, staging, which is best suited to the growth and display of certain kinds of plants, other ranges are devoted to representative collections of a homogeneous character, planted out in as natural a way as may be. There are, for instance, a fern house, a tree-fern tower, an acacia house, a yucca tower, and a cactus house, in which the impression produceable by each of these classes of plants is accentuated by the natural manner in which they are grown.

Download or read book Handbook for Ranking Exotic Plants for Management and Control Classic Reprint written by Ronald D. Hiebert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for Ranking Exotic Plants for Management and Control Exotic, alien, introduced, nonindigenous, and normative are all synonyms for species that humans intentionally or unintentionally introduced into an area outside of a species' natural range. The National Park Service (nps) defines exotic species as those occur ring in a given place as a result of direct or indirect, deliberate, or accidental actions of humans. Thus, species native to the North American continent if outside their normal range due to the actions of humans are considered exotics by the National Park Service. The reader is directed to the Natural Resources Management Guideline (us. Department of the Interior, National Park Service 1991, nps-77) to further clarify the definition. Most exotic plant species cause minor effects on natural ecosystems. For example, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has approximately vascular plant species, 400 of which are exotics 10 species are considered to be threatening to park resources. Of the vascular plants at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, 300 are exotics, 14 of which are considered to be major threats. However, some exotic species can be extremely disruptive, such as disrupting the accurate presentation of a historic scene, damaging historic or archeological resources, interfering with natural processes, and threatening the survival of naturally evolved plant assemblages and individual native species. Exotic species are often major roadblocks to managing natural resources in parks and other natural areas. Managing exotic plants is an extremely expensive, labor-intensive, and almost always a long-term proposition. Managers must not only be concerned with the level of impact that an exotic can cause but must also consider the impact of removing the species. Removal can often disturb areas that are easily colonized by the same or other exotic species (westman The intensity and longevity of a control program are also important factors to consider in managing exotic plants. Therefore, managers must make sound decisions on where to place one's effort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Harper s Guide to Wild Flowers Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Caroline Alathea Creevey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harper's Guide to Wild Flowers This book explains the easiest way Of telling owers and plants. These ways are based upon the new Classification. This Classification is the one presented in the seventh edi tion Of Gray's Manual of Botany, published in 1908. It em bodies the decisions Of the Vienna Congress Of 1905. The Congress came to an agreement respecting the botanical names and Classifications Of American owers, which we hope will not need to be revised. Some Old names, dear to us, have Come back. Greater simplicity as well as perma nency has been aimed for. The first way Of telling owers is by color. It is the simplest means Of identification, and to this the most space is given. Secondly, owers may be identified by their dwelling places or habitats. Thirdly, owers are shown by seasons, the time and order Of their blossoms. This book is a Guide to the owering plants Of the Atlantic seaboard, New England, the Middle States, and, to a limited extent, Of the Southern States. It is interest ing to note the wide latitudinal range Of some plants along the entire Atlantic coast. As the climate grows warmer, plants ascend the mountains, and New Eng land vegetation reappears two thousand feet high in Vir ginia. Plants which are local, and but seldom found, the size Of this book excludes. Plant immigrants, unless well established, are not enumerated. Taking New York as the center of a wide circle, any per son possessing no knowledge Of botany (except such as may be acquired from the Explanation Of Technical Terms) may identify any ower and learn something Of its story. There is every reason to believe that there is need Of a book complete in its means of identification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
