5 10 intro to lawns
There are two main types of turfgrass - cool season and warm season. Cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue grow best in temperatures between 50-75 degrees F, while warm season grasses like bermudagrass and zoysia prefer warmer temperatures of 80-105 degrees F. The transition zone has characteristics of both where no single grass thrives year-round, requiring the use of mixtures or dormant grasses. Turfgrass serves both functional purposes like reducing erosion and ornamental purposes in landscaping. Quality is determined visually by traits like density, color, and texture as well as functional measures of rigidity, elasticity, and recuperative potential.

Floating row cover (FRC) is a lightweight fabric that can be placed over plants to protect them from pests and frost. It improves plant growth by increasing temperature and humidity under the cover. FRC comes in light and heavy weights and is used to protect a variety of vegetable crops like tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and beans from pests while speeding up growth. It must be removed when plants start flowering to allow for pollination. FRC can be secured directly over plants or supported with frames made from PVC pipes or wire.
Turf Management
The document provides information on selecting and maintaining turfgrass varieties. It discusses key terminology used to identify grass parts. Several cool-season and warm-season grass varieties adapted to Wyoming are described, including their characteristics, water needs, and seeding rates. The steps for establishing a new lawn from seed or sod are outlined, including soil preparation, planting, watering, and initial mowing. Ongoing maintenance recommendations are provided for the different seasons, such as mowing height, watering, fertilizing, and controlling pests.
Turf Transition Zone
Tall fescue is a cool-season grass that tolerates some shade. It is planted from seed or sod and mowed between 2-4 inches height. Tall fescue has moderate drought tolerance and needs moderate fertilizer. Kentucky 31 is an old standard tall fescue variety while newer varieties like Durana and Penn 1901 are used in blends. Tall fescue grows in bunches and does not spread as quickly as creeping grasses. The transition zone is an area where neither warm-season nor cool-season grasses thrive year-round.
4 21 cover crops
Cover crops are planted between main crops to prevent erosion and enrich the soil. Legume cover crops like peas and beans can fix nitrogen from the air and add it to the soil. Cover crops provide multiple benefits including preventing erosion, improving soil quality, suppressing weeds, and reducing insects. They can also prevent nutrient leaching and add nitrogen and organic matter to soils. Common cover crop models include winter cover crops, summer green manure crops, living mulches, catch crops, and forage crops.

Squirrels
There are two main groups of squirrels - ground squirrels that burrow and nest in the ground, and tree squirrels that nest in trees. Tree squirrels include eastern gray squirrels, fox squirrels, and red squirrels. They live in forested areas for protection from predators and store food for winter. Red squirrels are small with reddish fur and eat pine seeds and other foods. Chipmunks are solitary except during mating and store food in their cheeks for modified hibernation when they stay semi-awake.
Shop layout project
The document outlines requirements and considerations for designing a flower shop layout, including a work area with cooler and work stations, an area to receive and condition flowers, storage, and an office. The showroom needs a display cooler, shelving, a sales counter, and consultation area. When designing the work area, efficiency through work triangles and a training video should be considered. The service area must make merchandise visible and have good traffic flow. Alternatively, the layout can be designed using CAD home design software on a computer.
Asymmetrical triangle designs
The document describes different asymmetrical triangle flower arrangements including the L-shape right triangle and scalene triangle. The right triangle arrangement involves securing foam in a container above the rim and establishing the framework by marking the height and width, then softening the upright edge and concealing the foam before adding a focal point and filler flowers. The scalene triangle is similar but must be elevated with the lower side below level or have the upper side extend beyond center with the lower side level.
Human impact on wildlife habitat
Human activities like construction, agriculture, mining and development have significantly reduced wildlife habitats by fragmenting large tracts of land into small, isolated pieces. This fragmentation creates population problems for wildlife by preventing migration and reducing genetic diversity. Wetlands, forests and farmland - which can provide excellent habitat if managed properly - have also been degraded or destroyed. However, certain habitat alterations like leaving field corners unplowed can benefit wildlife by providing food and cover. Overall, human encroachment has placed great pressure on wildlife populations by destroying and fragmenting the lands they depend upon.
History of conservation
The document summarizes the history of wildlife conservation in the United States from the 1600s to present day. It outlines key events like the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872 as the first national park, and the passage of laws like the Lacey Act of 1900, Migratory Bird Acts of the 1920s-30s, and Endangered Species Act of 1973 to regulate wildlife protection. It also profiles important historical figures in the conservation movement such as Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Jay Darling.
Forest succession
1. Forest succession is the gradual replacement of one community of plants by another, usually driven by differences in shade tolerance. Pioneer species that colonize first are shade-intolerant, while climax species that eventually remain are most shade tolerant.
2. In an eastern deciduous forest, pioneer species like black locust and loblolly pine establish first following clearing before being replaced by oak trees with intermediate tolerance and later more tolerant maple and beech.
3. Forest succession can be influenced by disturbances like clearing or fire that allow pioneers to grow, while lack of disturbance allows climax species suited to the location to persist indefinitely.

Plant physiology
The three main processes in plant physiology are photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. Photosynthesis allows plants to produce their own food (carbohydrates) from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using chlorophyll in their leaves. Respiration breaks down carbohydrates to release energy, which is used for growth and tissue building. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water, primarily through their leaves, which serves purposes like mineral transport and cooling the plant.
