Eat Your Lawn! Practical Permaculture for the Home Gardenercvillefoodscapes
This document provides an overview of permaculture design principles and strategies for creating sustainable home food gardens and landscapes. It discusses observing natural systems and mimicking their processes to design for abundance, community, health and resilience. Key elements discussed include guiding design principles, plant guilds and polycultures, companion planting of beneficial insect attractors and nutrient accumulators, and envisioning landscape designs that integrate food production, habitat and enjoyment. Recommended resources on native plants and critter houses are also provided.
Exposed_ The Secret Life of Roots _ United States Botanic Gardenjerry_d_glover
Plant roots are vital but often unseen components of ecosystems. The exhibition "Exposed: The Secret Life of Roots" showcases the importance of roots through photographs, sculptures, and preserved plant specimens. It features the work of photographer Jim Richardson, sculptor Steve Tobin, and agricultural ecologist Dr. Jerry Glover. Glover developed a method of growing plants in tubes that preserves their root structures after removal. The exhibition aims to increase understanding of roots and soils, which are crucial but fragile parts of global systems.
This document discusses different types of natural resources including renewable and nonrenewable resources. It defines natural resources as materials from the environment that are used by humans, including things like air, water, soil, plants and animals. Renewable resources can replenish themselves, like many biological resources, while nonrenewable resources form slowly and are finite, like fossil fuels. The document also categorizes natural resources as material resources, which are used to make objects, and energy resources, which can be converted into useful energy forms.
High school students surveyed willow trees along a river bank to analyze changes in numbers over time. They found the number of trees had reduced by 5 in the last 9 years, likely due to an increase in wells lowering the water level and reducing humidity needed by the willows. The students concluded more wells should be avoided and existing wells need better control to protect the willow trees.
Bashir Abbasi is an independent environmental research consultant based in Karachi, Pakistan. He has over 20 years of experience in areas such as contaminated land restoration, ecosystem management, conservation, and sustainable development. He has published 10 research papers and a book on various environmental topics. Bashir holds an MSc in Botany and an MPhil in Environmental Science. He currently works as an assistant professor teaching biological sciences and the environment.
This thesis assessed the environmentally responsible design of 11 ecological intentional communities in Texas. The communities were categorized on a spectrum from regenerative to sustainable to green based on their implementation of practices like organic food production, renewable energy, water conservation, and waste reduction. Rural communities generally scored higher than urban or suburban ones. The highest scoring community was located in Arlington and featured innovative housing styles like partially buried vehicles and cob structures. While the communities demonstrated some sustainable practices, the study found that they have not yet achieved producing all of their renewable energy needs off-grid and therefore cannot currently serve as a framework for broader environmentally responsible development.
This document summarizes a spatial analysis conducted to identify suitable sites for urban agriculture in Syracuse, NY. The analysis used ArcGIS to evaluate publicly owned vacant lots based on land cover (bare earth and grassland) and slope (less than 30%). Several potentially suitable sites were identified. The results could be improved in the future with on-the-ground analysis of soil quality, sunlight, water access, and community support. This preliminary analysis provides a starting point for identifying urban agriculture sites.
The document discusses the thesis of Krystle Keese, which explored a multifunctional approach to reconciling renewable energy development and habitat conservation needs in Washington State. As populations grow, more land is needed for human needs, but this has negatively impacted biodiversity. The thesis aims to understand how wind and solar energy development conflicts with habitat conservation at the landscape-level in Washington, in order to inform future land management practices that balance these priorities through a multifunctional approach. The research used GIS analysis of renewable energy and habitat datasets to identify and characterize conflicts between the two land uses across the state.

Horticultural therapy involves engaging patients in gardening and plant-related activities to promote physical, mental, cognitive, and social healing without pain. It has been used since ancient times by kings, monasteries, and during World Wars to help patients reduce stress, strengthen muscles, and improve mood and social skills. Activities may include gardening, crafts with natural materials, and interacting with plants' colors, fragrances, and textures. Horticultural therapy can benefit people of all ages with injuries, illnesses, disabilities, or other conditions and can be conducted in gardens or with indoor plants.
Horticulture and plants can provide therapeutic benefits in several ways. Interacting with plants through activities like gardening can improve both physical and mental wellness. For inmates at a county jail, a horticulture therapy program has led to improvements in life skills, attitudes, and recidivism rates. Participants noted benefits like stress reduction, feelings of accomplishment, and learning skills to apply when released. The program has also donated over 20,000 pounds of fresh produce to local food pantries.
This document provides a bibliography of sources related to horticultural therapy categorized into several sections: aging, geriatrics, Alzheimer's and dementia; children and youth; community gardening; and developmental disabilities. It lists over 50 references including journal articles, book chapters, and reports on how horticultural activities can benefit various populations through therapeutic garden programs and interventions.

What Good is Community Greening - Community GardeningBenBeckers
The document discusses research that demonstrates the benefits of community greening and gardening. It describes how greening reduces stress, improves health outcomes, and fosters community development. However, community greeners often lack concrete data and facts to convince politicians and developers of greening's value. Recent research from diverse fields provides strong evidence of greening's social, economic, and health benefits, such as reduced crime, higher property values, and improved mental health. This research confirms that while nature may seem like a luxury, it is essential for healthy human and community development.
This document provides the background and context for redesigning a community garden in Aberystwyth, Wales to benefit mental health. It begins with a literature review on the relationship between green space and mental health. Key topics discussed include the historical significance and loss of green space, the functions and uses of green space, and how green space benefits wellbeing. The document then discusses the methodology used, which was an action research approach utilizing previous studies due to ethical concerns around interviewing patients. Community and stakeholder values and priorities for the garden were identified, including a focus on open green space, food growing, and interactions with natural features. These informed a new design for the garden that aims to provide therapeutic benefits for mental health while promoting

CAN BIOCHAR AMENDMENTS IMPROVE SOIL QUALITY AND REDUCE CO2? A Climate Change ...Jenkins Macedo
ABSTRACT
Variations in rainfall, increased mean surface temperature, persistent drought, reduced soil moisture and nutrient, and crop failures have all been evidently linked to anthropogenic-induced climate change, which impacts food security. Agricultural soils can be used to reduce atmospheric CO2 by altering the physicochemical composition of soil organic matter through biochar soil amendments. This study draws on current literature published online, in peer review journal articles, books, and conference proceedings to assess the implications of biochar soil amendments to enhance soil quality, while reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration. Building on the critical analytical approach, biochar use as soil amendments have been tested to have promising environmental potential, which improves soil quality and quantity thereby enhancing soil moisture status and reduces atmospheric CO2. Analyses of biochar amended soils in terrestrial ecosystems reduces about 12% of the total Carbon (C) emitted through anthropogenic land use change. Biochar amended soil systems are dependable in tracing and quantifying sequestered C and can stay in the soil for thousands of years. The challenge with biochar as soil amendments is the type of biomass that can yield high quality biochar through the pyrolysis process.
Key words: Biochar, amendments, regenerative agriculture, food security, climate change, atmospheric CO2, pyrolysis, Carbon, soil moisture.

Ruth Jones, a Christian teacher without a master's degree or administrative experience, was unexpectedly named principal of a struggling inner city elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan that was on the verge of closure due to poor academic performance. Through prayer, addressing students' practical needs, and recruiting volunteers, Jones led a dramatic turnaround of the school over 20 years. Test scores and graduation rates increased sharply, and the school now has a waiting list despite originally facing closure. Jones attributes the school's success to aligning herself with God.
- Coconut oil may help slow or prevent Alzheimer's disease in some people by providing an alternative fuel for brain cells in the form of ketones. Dr. Mary Newport put her husband Steve, who had Alzheimer's, on a diet supplemented with coconut oil, which led to improvements in his symptoms and cognitive abilities.
- Researchers have developed a ketone ester that is more potent than coconut oil, but it is very expensive to produce. Coconut oil remains a viable alternative source of ketones. Taking coconut oil may also help with other neurological diseases due to its ability to increase ketone levels and good cholesterol while reducing bad bacteria.
A teacher in Baltimore transformed the lives of students from the slums. In the 1920s, college students evaluated 200 boys from the slums and said they had no chance of success. Twenty-five years later, it was found that 176 of the 180 boys who could be located had achieved success as lawyers, doctors, and businessmen. The professor interviewed each man and they all credited their success to a teacher who had loved and believed in them. When interviewed, the elderly teacher said her simple method was that she loved those boys.
Robert Raikes witnessed the poor conditions of children in Gloucester, England in the late 18th century due to the Industrial Revolution. This inspired him to create the first Sunday school to educate and reform street children. The Sunday school used the Bible as its textbook and proved hugely successful in improving behavior and civic responsibility. Raikes' idea then spread across Britain and to other parts of Europe and America, revolutionizing religious education of children and community outreach efforts of churches. Late in life, Raikes had a profound spiritual experience witnessing a young girl reading the Bible that gave him a new understanding of faith.
The document discusses using Groasis Waterboxx devices to help plant and grow trees in dry environments like the Sahara Desert. It describes how the author and a colleague tried using 10 Waterboxx devices to plant trees in M'hamid, Morocco but their luggage containing the devices was initially lost. They were eventually found and the devices were used to plant tamarisk trees to compare growth with traditional planting methods. The document provides details on how the Waterboxx works, collecting condensation and directing water to tree roots, and hopes the experiment will help increase tree survival rates in the dry climate.
The Groasis Waterboxx is a low-tech device that helps seeds and saplings grow into strong trees in dry environments. It collects and stores rainwater and condensation to slowly water the roots daily. In tests, 88% of trees grown with the Waterboxx survived compared to only 10.5% without it. The inventor believes using this technology could reforest billions of acres and offset humanity's carbon emissions by capturing CO2 in new tree growth.
The document discusses the Groasis Technology, a planting method that uses a Waterboxx and other techniques to plant trees in dry areas with 90% less water. It summarizes that the technology (1) improves soil, maps planting areas, harvests rainfall, and uses the right planting techniques to help trees grow deep roots in the first year to survive independently. It also describes how the technology terraces slopes to harvest and direct rainfall to trees, uses 3D imaging to map ideal planting lines, and a capillary drill to quickly plant thousands of trees per day.
The document describes the Agua, Vida y Naturaleza Project (AVNP) that started in Ecuador in 2012. It is funded by the Dutch COmON Foundation to help small farmers in dry areas by introducing the Groasis Technology, which allows planting in deserts and eroded lands. The technology mimics nature by improving soil, maintaining capillary structures, and using a waterboxx device. The project aims to address issues small farmers face like lack of water, capital, and farming knowledge, in order to help alleviate world hunger and prevent farmers from migrating to cities due to lack of income from farming dry areas.
The document provides planting instructions for using a Waterboxx planting device. It outlines 6 main steps:
1. Preparing the soil by digging holes and adding compost/fertilizer or just watering.
2. Assembling the Waterboxx by placing the wick, mid-plate, lid, and siphons.
3. Preparing plants by pruning roots to encourage deep growth.
4. Planting in holes aligned east-west within the Waterboxx hole.
5. Placing the assembled Waterboxx over the planted area.
6. Watering the plants and filling the Waterboxx for the first time.
This document provides instructions for growing vegetables using the Groasis Waterboxx system. It details recommendations for greenhouse design, soil preparation, planting methods, plant spacing, watering schedules, and pest and disease management. Proper installation and maintenance of the Waterboxx system is emphasized to ensure healthy plant growth and high crop yields. Close monitoring of climate conditions and plant needs is also advised.
The document is a report on the Groasis waterboxx, a device that aims to allow farming without irrigation. It provides an overview of the waterboxx's history and development, describes its components and how it works, reviews testing that has been done, and evaluates its suitability for organic farming. In the conclusion, the report recommends that the cooperative discussed in the document not use the waterboxx yet, as more data is still needed, but could consider conducting their own tests with support from their technical services.
The document summarizes an invention called the Groasis that helps plants survive in arid climates by collecting and storing rainfall to provide steady watering to seedlings. It notes that most rainfall in deserts occurs within one week but is then unavailable, and that the Groasis uses evaporation-proof containers and wicking to deliver water to young plants over longer periods, allowing their roots to develop and access deeper groundwater reserves. Large-scale projects have used the Groasis in countries like Kenya to aid reforestation efforts and combat desertification.
The document summarizes the work of the Sahara Roots Foundation in Morocco and their use of the Groasis Waterboxx to help plant trees and reduce desertification. The Sahara Roots Foundation was established to implement development projects to conserve the Moroccan Sahara through activities like tree planting, irrigation, education, and desert cleaning. They have started using the Groasis Waterboxx, an "intelligent water battery" developed by AquaPro, to improve the survival rate of newly planted trees. The Waterboxx produces and captures water through condensation and rain, allowing trees to be planted in dry areas like rocks and deserts with a 100% success rate.
The document describes the Agua, Vida y Naturaleza Project (AVNP) that started in Ecuador in 2012. It is funded by the Dutch COmON Foundation to help small farmers in dry areas by introducing the Groasis Technology, which allows planting in deserts and eroded lands. The technology mimics nature by improving soil, maintaining capillary structures, and using a waterboxx device. The project aims to address issues small farmers face like lack of water, capital, and farming knowledge, in order to help alleviate world hunger and prevent farmers from migrating to cities.
Groasis Technology is compared to drip irrigation over a 50-year project for a 500-hectare tree plantation. Key financial indicators show that using Groasis Waterboxes results in a higher net present value (NPV) of €26.62 million compared to €21.15 million for drip irrigation, and a slightly higher internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.1% versus 23.4% for drip irrigation. Waterboxx also has a longer payback period of 7 years compared to 5 years for drip irrigation. The document provides assumptions and calculations for costs and revenues for both systems over the 50-year period.
A new technology called the Groasis Waterboxx shows promise for reclaiming desert landscapes and increasing plant survival rates. The simple device regulates temperature and moisture levels around young plants, allowing trees and crops to grow with little watering even in dry conditions. Initial trials in Africa found tree survival rates increased to 88% with the Waterboxx compared to only 10% without it. Researchers in Kenya are optimistic this technology could significantly reduce desertification and help transform the country's deserts into productive, economic areas through increased vegetation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
