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 Native Plants for New England Gardens written by Mark Richardson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native plants are drought tolerant, disease resistant, wildlife friendly, and environmentally sound. Experts increasingly encourage gardeners to use natives exclusively. This handy and practical guide focuses on 100 great native flowers, ground covers, shrubs, ferns, and grasses that will thrive in New England gardens. The presentation is aimed at gardeners, who want concise, practical information. It will also include material on the importance and desirability of using native plants. The heart of this book is 100 two-page spreads, one for each species. The spreads will include facts about the plant of use to a gardener (not a botanist)—where it grows best, when it blooms, the soil conditions in which it thrives, its appeal to wildlife, sunlight requirements, how high it grows, how to propagate it, and how to avoid any problems particular to the species. Each spread will also feature two color photos.
