What is phenology? • Phenology is the study of life history stages, such as leafing, flowering and berry ripening in plants, or migration and breeding in animals. Bees rely on nectar being available at the right • Changes in climate can alter the timing of time and plants rely on the pollinators too phenological events which may cause mismatch between the life stages of different species, for example: • Earlier or later flowering may change the amount of flowers available to pollinators • Changes in the fruiting period may result in reduced food availability for birds • Repeated recording of these crucial stages enables us to identify changes in phenology. Coat colour change in mountain hares is another example of phenology Courtesy of Tim Sparks www.naturescalendar.org.uk Which plants? Field and laboratory experiments have shown changes in the phenology of many moorland species.

    Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Pattern Book: Sample Plant Lists and Designs for Four Florida Regions USDA HARDINESS ZONES 8A and 8B, NORTH FLORIDA

    ENH1175 Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Pattern Book: Sample plant lists and designs for four Florida regions USDA HARDINESS ZONES 8A AND 8B, NORTH FLORIDA Gail Hansen, Kelly Perez, and Esen Momol2 Purpose HE DESIGN AND maintenance of landscapes in residential yards has a significant impact on water T shortages and declining water quality in many counties in Florida. Maintenance of traditional landscape plantings can require a large amount of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which can be a serious environmental threat to Florida’s water bodies. As part of a broad effort to improve water quality, the following landscape guidelines were developed for USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 8A and 8B in North Florida to guide the design and installation of Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) in residential neighborhoods (Figure 1). FIGURE 1. Florida-Friendly landscape By adopting Florida-Friendly principles for residential yards, homeowners can create environmentally sound landscapes that conserve and protect both water and energy. Homeowners with FFL yards enjoy attractive landscapes and wildlife (Figure 2), save time and money, and protect the quality of Florida’s water by reducing pollution in water bodies. How to Use this Document Step 1 – Review the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles and general design principles. Step 2 – Note the activity zones for residential yards and the design intent for each zone. Step 3 – Analyze your yard to determine site conditions in each activity zone. Step 4 – Determine which plant groups are appropriate for FIGURE 2. River birch (Betula nigra) in Vera Lea Rinker Native Plant your site conditions.

With the van parked on the village green we set off down into Caerthillian Valley. A pair of Choughs was feeding on the grassy slopes, just in off the cliff path. The rare clovers were late this year and after much searching most were seen in small numbers, i.e. Twin-Headed, Long-Headed, Western, Rough and Subterranean. Several patches of Fringed Rupturewort were seen and clumps of Rosy Garlic and Tree Mallow were also along the path. On returning to the hotel the last remaining member of our group had arrived and joined us for our evening meal.
