Practically bullet-proof, they are able to withstand any amount of abuse you throw at them and their blossoms will attract a multitude of bees and other beneficials. Zones 3-10. Two good choices, both hardy to Zone 4, are two-inch-tall ‘John Creech’ two-row sedum (Sedum spuriumcv.)...
An extra bonus of some types of evergreen groundcovers is their bloom power. While not all of these unique groundcovers produce flowers, many of them do. During the growing season, these low-growing plants are smothered in flowers that are adored by both humans and many species of pollinator...
Reflective ground coversLight transmissionYieldAlmondPrunus dulcis MillConventional planting and management systems for almond ( Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb) orchards involve trees trained from an early age to produce multiple large scaffold branches, which in mature orchards form closed light ...
(2) Early monsoon—During the early monsoon, the unsaturated zone above the unconfined water table is filled by monsoon precipitation (Fig.9b). During this phase, maximum recharge by precipitation takes place, as evidenced by the distribution of precipitation isotope ratios estimated to be in grou...

In addition, the local decrease in pH at the site could be attributed to the release of CO2 and methane during the decomposition of waste materials, which ultimately percolate through the sediments into the saturated zone. Waste observed at the time of the research largely comprised solids left ...

and southern Zhijin County.Figure 6b shows that the rocky desertification in the central part of Bijie City aggravated in 1990, while the rocky desertification in the east and west improved. A zone of severe rocky desertification (1239.48 km2) was mainly distributed in the western Weining Yi, ...
In the Haihe Plain, accurate spatial and temporal ET pattern is very important in the groundwater resource assessment that determines the recharge to the saturated zone.
