CA could truffles possibly grow among the roots? the best way to test soil for acid or alkali ph? we would like to explore the possibilities of growing truffles wondering if n.CA might be as good a location as Oregon are you available for consultation re all these things? or is this the wrong department/forum in which to ask these questions? thank you for your web site & information re truffles. sue From gast7 from vub.ac.be Mon Oct 19 08:08:53 2009 From: gast7 from vub.ac.be (Hanh) Date: Mon Oct 19 10:34:53 2009 Subject: [Agroforestry] habitat fragmentation management through agroforestry Message-ID: Hi Does anyone know how to approch a resarch study on how agroforestry could stop habitat fragmentation? or, How agrofrestry corridors could be use to connect fragmented patches?

You could design the corridors created by your interventions at the landscape (that is create an imaginary GIS dataset with your agroforestry regime). Then run the landscape homogeneity tests for the current, and the future landscape. The index values could provide an indicator of the effect of your interventions. Hope this helps, Dimos -- Dimos P.

Put "greenveins" into google for related presentations - the main site seems to be down at present.
