Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Restoring degraded desert ecosystems is challenging but it can be done. The first key step is understanding the site history and understanding the disturbance and current site conditions. With this information the appropriate steps can be taken to improve the site ecosystem function and structure.

Container Plants For Desert Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Container planting is essential for most desert restoration work because direct seeding is rarely successful. The containers best suited for desert planting are often taller (deeper) to facilitate root development. Fertilizer management, inoculation, irrigation and pruning can be used to maximize root growth with minimal shoot development.
Interactions Between Pieris Oleracea And Pieris Rapae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) Butterflies, And The Biological Control Agents Cotesia Glomerata And Cotesia Rubecula (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)., Megan V. Herlihy
Megan V Herlihy
Pieris oleracea, formerly Pieris napi, was once a widespread pierid butterfly in New England until the introduction of a biological control agent, Cotesia glomerata. It has been suggested that C. glomerata is responsible for the range reduction of P. oleracea. There are been several introductions of a second more specialized biological control agent, Cotesia rubecula, to the United States since the 1960’s. My first goal was to determine the current distribution and status of P. rapae parasitoids and the effectiveness of C. rubecula as a biological control agent since its release. The findings of a survey I conducted of the …

Sustainable Management, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Management for the future must include a broader and more complex view of the world. Sustainable management of business can be profitable and provide benefits for workers, shareholders as well as communities, nations and the planet.
Soil Treatment For Restoration Projects, David A. Bainbridge
Soil Treatment For Restoration Projects, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Soil treatment is a critical step in restoration projects. When soil problems are ignored restoration projects fail. Erosion, compaction, limited infiltration and other problems can make a site very different from its historic function and structure. Treatment can be done with equipment or by hand and will greatly improve chances for success.
