| Abstract/Contents: | "Managed landscapes are an intricate blend of woody and herbaceous ornamentals, turfgrass, organic and mineral groundcovers, and a vast array of manufactured elements, generically referred to as "hardscape." When properly designed, installed, and maintained, "built landscapes" provide countless economic and quality-of-life benefits for people in rural, suburban, and urban areas. But the journey from drafting table to finished landscape often is poorly defined and fraught with challenges, frustrations, and misconceptions. Functional and sustainable landscapes are created when attention is paid to minimizing or alleviating abiotic and biotic stress along the continuum from plant production and selection, to installation, and finally maintenance of established plants. Topics for discussion include selection and use of superior taxa for managed landscapes, nursery crop production techniques for enhanced transplant success, installation and post-plant maintenance protocols to minimize stress, and intervention/rescue treatments for established plants with compromised root systems." |
