SUMMARY:Sustainable Intensification of the Rural Landscape: Protecting Soil Health\, Water Quality and Farm Profitability
DESCRIPTION:Rural landscapes are complex physical and biological systems integrating cropland\, forestland and riparian zones\, crop rotations and nutrient cycling\, a balance of pests and pathogens\, and other interactions. Many producers seek to redesign their cropping systems guided by agro-ecological principles whereby soil health and ecological services accumulate in mutually supportive ways. They are actively involved in devising\, testing\, and evaluating new and innovative practices on their farms to enhance biodiversity and beneficial interactions\, improve resilience and mitigate risk. Attendees at this Michigan Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society Seminar will discover practical and sustainable ways to manage the rural landscape through five presentations. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Climate Change on Street Trees in California
DESCRIPTION:Climate change will alter the species composition of urban tree populations through a combination of modified precipitation regimes and increased temperatures. Likely changes in the composition of common street tree species in California were examined using the ‘space-for- time’ substitution method. Sixteen cities covering the climatic range of the state (“representative city”) were paired with a “warm city” counterpart\, where the climate of today approximates the climate of the representative city in 2099. Of the 140 tree species found\, as many as 83 species may be unsuitable for the future warmer climate in specific cities. This change is geographically non-uniform\, with greater losses (up to 100% of common species unsuitable for future climate) found in cities away from the coast. In contrast\,applying the “climate envelope” approach\, i.e.\, assessing climate suitability of tree species from published sources based on the geographic distribution of a species\, reduces the number of unsuitable species to as few as 14\, although a more rigorous “professional judgment” approach that accounts for the substantial gaps in the “climate envelope” information results in 56 unsuitable tree species. The difference between the observed and estimated results (83 unsuitable species vs. 56) is likely caused by the climate envelope information insufficiently accounting for the irrigation needs of newly-planted street trees in the Mediterranean-type climates like California. The results of this study demonstrate the viability of the ‘space-for- time’ substitution method for evaluating possible climate change effects on urban trees\, and suggest both an immediate need to re-evaluate the planting palette of street trees\, and a long-term imperative to trial new tree species. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Key to Crop Nutrition: Establishing Biology at Planting to Supply Nutrients
DESCRIPTION:We are seeing more and more evidence that shows the important role that biology plays in crop health and quality. We now know that biology in the soil can deliver more of the crop’s nutrients than we expect and that key realization is being too often ignored. But for our crops to take advantage of soil biology\, we first need to have vigorous microbial populations established at germination. \nInfo here.
