Abstract/Contents: | Argues that "xeriscape is quickly gaining more popularity as water issues become more important in southern Nevada due to rapid population growth and limited water resources." States that "to help provide information for intelligent decisions, a research study by the University of Nevada is...underway to determine the actual water use of selected woody trees, shrubs, and groundcovers frequent to desert landscapes compared to commonly chosen turfgrasses." Details how "the data collected from this experiment combined with two prior experiments investigating the evapotranspiration of desert turfgrass and three woody ornamental trees gives...valuable information for teaching water conserving landscape principles in design, selection, and management of desert landscapes." |
