	*		*[[Impact of Landscaping on Micro/Nano-Plastic Pollution]]
			**Essentially does the use of a (Non-Biodegradable at least) [[String Trimmer]] impact Soil Microplastics at all/to what extent?
			***Given that (plastic) string is going…somewhere…via mechanical reduction (short of the occasional larger segment that can be picked up+disposed of properly)…where is that plastic dust going+what impacts does it potentially have
			*[[Impact of Landscaping on Biodiversity]]
			**Ie Time Between Mowing Intervals and Local Biodiversity
			*[[Impact of Landscaping on Evapotranspiration]]
			**Does more frequent mowing dry the soil out, or does longer grass/grass like mix of plants for ground cover “dry” the soil out more via increased evapotranspiration?
			**Also long term impacts of the microclimate made via a lawn/irrigated lawn etc

Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

New page

*This page aims to explore the impact of various [[Landscaping]] methods, and [[Soil Organic Matter]]
**This can be both a cost saving aspect (at least in [[Highly Managed Lawns]] going for a uniform green grass type look, even if fertilizer is required etc
***May matter less in a [[Low Management Ground Cover Only Lawn]]
**Furthermore there is the Climate Change aspect of [[Land Use Change]] / [[Carbon Sequestration in Soil]] etc
*Various other variables/externalities will be discussed on other pages listed in the “Internal Links” section
