Deep Pipe Irrigation, David A. Bainbridge
Deep Pipe Irrigation, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Deep pipe irrigation uses a vertically placed section of pipe to deliver water to the roots of plants. This reduces evaporation and increases water use efficiency. Deep pipes can be filled by hand, drip or rainwater catchment.
Planting Desert Sites, David A. Bainbridge
Planting Desert Sites, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Desert planting requires great care in preparing plants, handling plants and planting. With proper consideration of soil, climate and water availability plants can be established despite severe conditions of high temperatures, high winds, herbivory and lack of water.
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
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.
The Hudson’S Bay Company Brigades Of 1832-33 And The Malaria Epidemic In California, David A. Bainbridge
The Hudson’S Bay Company Brigades Of 1832-33 And The Malaria Epidemic In California, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
The ecological and cultural impacts of the Hudson’s Bay Company fur brigades to California were long term and important, but the expedition of 1832-33 caused a catastrophe by introducing the intermittent fever. The “intermittent fever” led to mortality rates from 50-90 percent or more, and it is likely more than 30,000 people died from the fever in the affected areas of California.

Fan Shengzhi Ancient Agronomist, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Fan Shengzhi wrote the first scientific monograph about Chinese high yield agriculture about 20BC. His book of 18 chapters covered planting, sowing, seed selection and coatings, irrigation, drainage, water harvesting and preserving foods.
