In northwestern Nevada from 1984–1997 cheatgrass density was altered by changing the seeding rates of a variety of native and non-native perennial grass and forb seed mixes. Cheatgrass densities were reduced to 2.6 plants per sq. m with seeding rates of 22.5 – 25 PLS per sq ft. Cheatgrass densities of 4.07 and 3.58 plants per sq. m were ...
Examples of additional lawn and grasslike species that can be encouraged in organic lawns include dozens of grass species (eight for ryegrass alone, sedges, mosses, clover, vetches, trefoils, yarrow, ground cover alternatives, and other mowable plants [13]). [14] Biodiversity increases the functioning and stress tolerance of ecosystems. [15]
Tree, shrubs and ground-cover are effective perimeter treatment for soil erosion prevention, by impeding surface flows. A special form of this perimeter or inter-row treatment is the use of a "grass way" that both channels and dissipates runoff through surface friction, impeding surface runoff and encouraging infiltration of the slowed surface ...
The dry coffee grounds contain significant amounts of potassium (11.7 g/kg), nitrogen (27.9 g/kg), magnesium (1.9 g/kg), and phosphorus (1.8 g/kg). [5] The quantity of caffeine remaining in used coffee grounds is around 48% of that in fresh coffee grounds. [6] There are significantly less tannins in used coffee grounds than fresh coffee grounds ...
A controlled burn or prescribed burn (Rx burn) is the practice of intentionally setting a fire to change the assemblage of vegetation and decaying material in a landscape. The purpose could be for forest management , ecological restoration , land clearing or wildfire fuel management.
1. Watch the soil temperatures. If it’s too cold, grass seed won’t germinate. If it’s too hot, the baby grass seeds will pop up, then quickly fry.
Low severity fires have been proven to benefit the low elevation species of this grass by increasing the overall biomass in the region. [4] While there was no effect on seedling establishment with the low severity method, high severity fires showed an increasing in seed germination and establishment.
