SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinar: Examining the Connection Between Woody Plant Biodiversity and Arthropod Pest Management Interventions in Residential Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The woody plant communities found on residential properties constitute an integral component of cities’ green infrastructure and serve as a nexus between urban residents and the natural world. Despite this importance\, residential landscapes are infrequently designed with principles of sustainability in mind\, resulting in the extensive use of pesticides to suppress a diverse array of plant pests. In this presentation\, we will discuss recently published research that asks whether ecological theory can inform the sustainable design and management of woody plant communities on urban residential properties. \n\n\n\nSpeaker – Dr. Chris Riley\, PhD \n\n\n\nISA CEU credit – 1.0
