Mulch Flammability
Introduction Regardless of how horrible and devastating wildland fires are portrayed by the media, they are a natural disturbance that many native ecosystems depend on for regeneration. As the population of the United States increases, more individuals are building their homes in wildlands rather than urban landscapes. Homes built in undeveloped wildland vegetation create areas often referred t...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of a Biodegradable Mulch: Paper Coated with Polymerized Vegetable Oils
Kraft paper was coated with resins based on vegetable oils and then tested for mechanical properties, rate of biodegradation in soil, and ability to inhibit weed growth. Resins included oxidatively polymerized linseed oil (LO) and a polyester formed by the reaction of epoxidized soybean oil and citric acid (ESO–CA). Tensile strength of LO-coated paper (82 MPa) was slightly higher than uncoated ...
متن کاملTo mulch or not to mulch? Effects of gravel mulch toppings on plant establishment and development in ornamental prairie plantings
In recent years, North American prairie vegetation has served as a design model for highly attractive, low-cost and low-maintenance plantings in German urban green spaces. Where mixed-planting techniques, gravel mulch toppings and non-selective maintenance techniques such as mowing are used, prairie plantings are considered to be cost-effective alternative design concepts for public green space...
متن کاملManaging For Mulch
vegetation that is allowed to naturally decompose isn’t realized by many ranchers and some range mangers. Mulch plays a critical role in soil-water relationships that is often overlooked. This, coupled with current drought conditions in the southwestern United States justifies a consideration of the importance of mulch on rangelands. Several early classic studies (reviewed in this article) reve...
متن کاملQuantifying spectral characteristics of fricatives
In a search for spectral parameters that can be used to distinguish and to model fricatives, spectral moments, dynamic amplitude, and slope above maximum amplitude were computed for a fricative corpus including sustained fricatives at di erent e ort levels, and fricatives in vowel context. Moments varied signi cantly by frequency range used in computation. M3 appeared to vary the least across f...
