Basics
- 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
- 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
- Various other variables/externalities will be discussed on other pages listed in the “Internal Links” section
Internal Links
- 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
- Essentially does the use of a (Non-Biodegradable at least) String Trimmer impact Soil Microplastics at all/to what extent?
- 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
