Gardening sheet pinus sabiniana
California foothill pine is a native evergreen tree found in foothill and coastal mountain ranges in central and southern California below 4,500 feet. It grows 40-80 feet tall with gray-green, drooping needles and thick, fissured bark. The large pine cones can be up to a foot long and weigh 1-2 pounds, containing very tasty but difficult to process seeds. As a garden tree, it is drought tolerant and provides habitat for birds and other wildlife.
The Plague of Pears
The document discusses the invasive nature of Callery pear trees in North America. It begins with a history of how the trees were introduced from China in the early 1900s and became widely popular ornamental trees. However, they have since escaped cultivation and spread aggressively through seed dispersal and vegetative means, forming dense thickets that crowd out native species. Controlling and removing established Callery pears requires diligence, as they are very tolerant of different environments. Public education on alternatives to planting Callery pears is important, as is replacing existing trees with native species.
Plant classification
This document provides an overview of plant classification into four main groups: mosses and liverworts, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants. It then discusses some key details about each group: mosses rely on surrounding moisture and help other plants grow; ferns have vascular systems but reproduce via spores; conifers reproduce via seeds in cones and have needle-like or scale-like leaves; and flowering plants are further divided into families based on shared flower structures. The document serves to introduce the basic classification of major plant kingdoms.

grasslands
Grasslands are regions with dry summers and cold winters characterized by grasses and herbs rather than trees. There are several types of grasslands globally containing different plants and animals. Grasslands have a dry climate with warm summers and cold winters, and a growing season where plants can grow and an inactive season when it is too cold. Three common grassland plants are the Panicled Aster, Goldenrod, and Blazing Star which can be identified by their curly leaves, hairy stems, and slender leaves respectively.

Weed Classification
This document provides a detailed classification of weeds based on various characteristics. It discusses morphological classification based on structure, life cycle as annual, biennial or perennial, and monocot or dicot. Physiological classification is presented based on seed characteristics and vegetative reproduction methods like rhizomes, stolons, bulbs etc. Ecological classification divides weeds into wetland, irrigated land, and dry land types based on water requirements. Further distinctions are made based on soil type, place of occurrence, origin, cotyledon number, soil pH, stem structure, parasitic nature, and habitat as aquatic. Specific problem weeds like poisonous and parasitic types are also outlined.
Weed identification
The document describes several weed species, providing details about their description, identification features, and problems caused. Key weeds mentioned include bindweed, which has creeping roots and competes for resources; caltrop, which has spiky burrs that can injure animals; and salvinia, an invasive aquatic fern that rapidly reproduces and clogs waterways. Many of the weeds discussed spread easily and reduce pasture quality or contaminate wool.

Grassland
The grasslands biome is dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants called forbs. It covers more of the Earth's surface than any other biome. North American grasslands can be divided into tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass prairies depending on the average precipitation and height of the dominant grasses. While grasses remain green and growing in the spring and summer, they become brown and dried out in the autumn and winter. Grasslands support a diversity of primary consumers and provide habitat for species like bison, prairie dogs, meadowlarks and rattlesnakes. However, over 99% of North American grasslands have been converted to agricultural use like growing corn and wheat.

The climate there is so wet that most of the surfaces were covered with mosses. The places is dripping with water. One surprising thing was that because it is so high up there were no mosquitoes and I did not see any insects either. There were nothing crawling about. But the experience is really worthwhile. They built a walkway for the visitors, so we are always above the forest floor. It also allowed us to walk amongst the ‘canopy’ of the forest.
One cannot but impressed with the diversity of plant life there. On a single tree trunk can harbour many species of plants. It is a profusion of plant life, rather chaotic, tangled and overwhelming.

The Tropical Rainforest 2
The tropical rainforests of North America are located in Central America and include countries like Mexico, Belize, and Panama. They have warm temperatures around 77 degrees Fahrenheit year-round with high rainfall of about 100 inches per year. Trees dominate the rainforest, with large trees like Mahogany reaching heights of 150 feet. Animals in the rainforest have adaptations to survive, with spider monkeys using their long limbs and tails to move through the trees and gaudy leaf frogs camouflaging themselves to avoid predation. The rainforest is structured into different layers from the emergent canopy layer down to the dark forest floor below.
Grasslands (teach)
There are two main types of grasslands: temperate grasslands and savannas. Temperate grasslands, also called prairies, are located in parts of North America, South America, Eurasia, South Africa, and have flat land with low rainfall. Savannas are tropical grasslands near the equator with scattered trees and distinct wet and dry seasons. Both grassland types support many herbivores and associated carnivores adapted to the open landscape.
Riparian Wetland Vegetation
Plants in riparian wetlands have developed various adaptations to survive periods of high and low water flow, including morphological, physiological, and whole plant strategies. Morphological adaptations include aerenchymous tissue systems and adventitious organs. Physiological adaptations help diffuse oxygen to roots and allow anaerobic respiration. Whole plant strategies include delayed seed germination and growth dormancy. Vegetation plays an important role in riparian ecosystems by regulating runoff, moderating soil conditions, altering nutrient cycles and temperatures, affecting geomorphology, and providing habitat. Both natural influences like fires and human influences such as development can impact vegetation viability and recovery.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 3. Ground squirrels live in a wide variety of natural habitats but usually avoid thick chaparral, dense woods, and wet areas. Populations may be particularly high in grazed rangelands and in areas disturbed by humans such as road or ditchbanks, fence rows, around buildings, and in or bordering many crops
- 4. Fiddle neck- The fiddlenecks are native to western North America and south-western South America, but they have spread widely to other regions. They are annuals, many of them bristly. Most have an erect stem, whose height varies from 20 to 120 cm. In most species the flowers are yellow, often with an orange tinge. Most are found at relatively low altitudes, below 500 meters.
- 5. Mixed Conifer Cone-is an organ on plants in the division Pinophyta (conifers) that contains the reproductive structures. The familiar woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cones, which produce pollen, are usually herbaceous and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from the fact that the shape in some species resembles a geometriccone.
- 6. Bush lupin- The bush lupin grows as a hardy perennial bush, capable of tolerating temperatures down to -12°C and living for up to seven years. It can grow to heights of up to 1.5m
- 8. Acorn woodpecker An Acorn Woodpecker group may consist of 1-7 male breeders that compete to mate with 1-3 females. The nest is excavated in a large tree, which may also be a granary tree. Tree cavities are created in both dead and living trees and snags and nest holes are reused for many years
- 9. Dark Moss- Since mosses have no vascular system to carry water through the plant, they must have a damp environment in which to live, and a surrounding of liquid water to reproduce. And since mosses are photosynthetic, they require enough sun to conduct photosynthesis
