In recent years,
Florida has currently experienced rapid
population growth and urbanization. As a result of this rapid growth,
water quantity and quality issues related to urban land uses are on the
rise. The Landscape Soil and Nutrient Management program, led by Dr.
Amy Shober, focuses on reducing the environmental impacts of residential
and commercial landscape management. As part of the UF/IFAS Center for
Landscape Conservation and Ecology, the program seeks to develop best
management practices for soil management and landscape maintenance for
landscape professionals and homeowners. In addition, the program seeks
to identify and mitigate soil related landscape problems (e.g.,
compaction, salinity, etc.) and nutrient losses from residential and
commercial landscapes.
