商品描述
Sustainable landscaping involves a set of practices implemented by landscape practitioners to help solve environmental concerns. Continuing in the tradition of its predecessor, the second edition of Sustainable Landscaping: Principles and Practices examines underlying landscaping issues that adversely affect the environment and illustrates alternative methods that result in positive outcomes. This textbook examines all phases of landscaping in both residential and commercial environments, from design to construction and implementation to maintenance.
Firmly anchoring landscaping practices in the context of sustainability, this book explores topics including choosing appropriate plants and using plants for specific effects, such as shading, water quality and quantity, soil health and optimal preservation techniques, pesticide usage and its inherent dangers, energy consumption, and resource management and waste reduction. Sustainable Landscaping also provides a thorough grounding in pertinent issues and terminology for each topic, followed by practical solutions applied by landscape professionals.
- Each chapter includes learning objectives and case studies of actual sustainable landscape activities.
- Contains updated government statistics and data, graphs, tables, and color photographs throughout.
- Provides background information and sustainable solutions for students, homeowners, and landscaping professionals to effectively design and manage landscapes.

可持續景觀設計涉及一系列由景觀專業人士實施的做法，以幫助解決環境問題。延續其前身的傳統，《可持續景觀設計：原則與實踐》第二版檢視了對環境產生不利影響的基本景觀問題，並說明了能夠產生正面結果的替代方法。本教科書探討了住宅和商業環境中景觀設計的所有階段，從設計到施工，再到實施和維護。
本書將景觀實踐牢牢地置於可持續性的背景下，探討了包括選擇適當植物和利用植物達成特定效果（如遮蔭、水質和水量、土壤健康及最佳保存技術、農藥使用及其固有危險、能源消耗、資源管理和減少廢物）等主題。《可持續景觀設計》還為每個主題提供了相關問題和術語的全面基礎，隨後是景觀專業人士所應用的實用解決方案。
- 每章包括學習目標和實際可持續景觀活動的案例研究。
- 包含更新的政府統計數據、圖表、表格和彩色照片。
- 為學生、房主和景觀專業人士提供背景信息和可持續解決方案，以有效設計和管理景觀。

作者簡介
Dr. Marietta Loehrlein is Professor Emeritus of Horticulture and Landscaping at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois.
While there, she developed a new course, Sustainable Landscaping, for which there were no textbooks at the time. So, she undertook the project to write a textbook that would be immediately pertinent to the topic. She didn't want to simply address the "how-to" of sustainable landscaping, but also to examine the related issues, such as: energy sources, landscape tools, equipment, and materials, and soil- and water-related environmental issues.
Her half-acre backyard is a showcase of sustainable landscaping practices: she has reduced what had been an all-turf lawn area by planting a small prairie, a small woodland, and many species of native trees and shrubs. The stream that runs through the property supports a riparian community that facilitates spring bird migration. The native garden areas support a large number of wildlife species, some of which are never seen, as they are nocturnal and/or live subterranean habitats. However, ground-dwelling bees and at least a dozen species of songbirds are regularly seen. It is both a pollinator-friendly area, and also a certified wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
Dr. Loehrlein previously published Home Horticulture: Principles and Practices (Cengage). She is an Evansville, Indiana native, earned her college degrees at the University of Arizona (B.S., M.S.) and The Pennsylvania State University (Ph. D.), and was a Research Associate in a fruit tree breeding program in central California for SunWorld, International. She holds a patent on the regal pelargonium 'Camelot'.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
馬莉埃塔·洛爾萊因博士是伊利諾伊州麥克姆的西伊利諾伊大學園藝與景觀設計名譽教授。
在那裡，她開發了一門新課程——可持續景觀設計，當時並沒有相關的教科書。因此，她著手撰寫一本與該主題直接相關的教科書。她不僅想要探討可持續景觀設計的「如何做」，還希望檢視相關議題，例如：能源來源、景觀工具、設備和材料，以及與土壤和水相關的環境問題。
她的半英畝後院展示了可持續景觀設計的實踐：她通過種植小型草原、小型林地以及多種本地樹木和灌木，減少了原本全是草坪的區域。流經該地產的溪流支持了一個河岸生態系統，促進春季鳥類遷徙。本地花園區域支持大量野生動物物種，其中一些從未被見過，因為它們是夜行性或生活在地下棲息地。然而，地面棲息的蜜蜂和至少十幾種鳴禽經常可見。這裡既是友善於授粉者的區域，也是全國野生動物聯盟認證的野生動物棲息地。
洛爾萊因博士之前出版了《家庭園藝：原則與實踐》（Cengage）。她是印第安納州埃文斯維爾人，在亞利桑那大學獲得學士和碩士學位，並在賓夕法尼亞州立大學獲得博士學位，曾在加州中部的SunWorld International擔任水果樹育種計劃的研究助理。她擁有對皇家天竺葵 'Camelot' 的專利。
