| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: February 2019Source: Landscape and Urban Planning, Volume 182Author(s): M.E. Hoversten, S.R. SwaffieldAbstractAlternative Futures (AF) landscape ecological planning integrates scientific inquiry and findings into plausible futures that can shape and inform decisions on public policy. AF theorists typically present an AF process in which expert deliberation about technically possible futures is separate from political decision-making about desirable or socially acceptable futures. This paper offers an alternative interpretation of Alternative Futures. It asks whether... | ||

| Lawn mowing frequency and its effects on biogenic and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: February 2019Source: Landscape and Urban Planning, Volume 182Author(s): Susannah B. Lerman, Alexandra R. ContostaAbstractDecision makers in urban areas actively pursue strategies to decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other greenhouse gases. Lawns dominate urban lands in the U.S. and require intensive management, including frequent mowing, which may influence CO2 emissions from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. We tested whether different lawn mowing frequencies (every one, two or three weeks) affected soil respiration (i.e., biogenic CO2 emissions), by... | ||
