IMPACTS ON PLANTS & GARDENS
![Page 12: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Observing Signs of Climate Change Impacts in Garden Systems
ü Local extinctions have occurred in hundreds of speciesü Earlier leaf and bloom events
ü More frost and freeze damageü Invasive species are more responsive to changes
ü Interacting species are shifting at different rates, leading to changes in synchronyü Birds and butterflies are breeding and migrating earlier
ü Short-lived insect pests may have enhanced population growth and longevityü Relaxed cold limitation could be intensifying the expansion of insect pests
ü Plants produce more pollenü Many wildlife species are shifting northward and to higher elevations

Importance of Observations
Compared to Thoreau’s observations in the 1850s:• The average temperature in Concord increased by over 4ºF• The plants in Concord are now flowering 10 days earlier• 27% of the species recorded were no longer present in
Concord at all, and a further 36% of formerly common species were now rare
(Richard Primack and Abraham Miller-Rushing, 2012)

Invasive Species
• Invasive plants tend to respond quickly to early warming
• Rising CO2 favors invasive plants
• More disturbances –new opportunities for invasion

![Page 30: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. Organic material waste management
q Leave grass clippings in placeq Mulch fall leaves and leave in
placeq Compost yard plant wasteq Compost kitchen plant food wasteq Check availability of local
municipal or commercial compost options if needed
![Page 31: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2. Soil Health & Nutrient Management
q Grow plants in the soil as often as possible
q Grow many different plantsq Minimize soil compactionq Rotate annual plantsq Integrate legumesq Keep the soil covered all the timeq Use cover cropsq Till or turn the soil less
q Attract and contain earthworms in the garden
q Measure pH and choose appropriate plants
q Add nitrogen sources to meet plant needs
q Identify plant nutrient needsq Test soil for current available
nutrients
![Page 32: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3. Water Management & Conservation
q Understand what is happening with water in your garden ecosystem
q Choose plants suited to site conditionsq Recognize that plant water needs varyq Make observations of plants, soil, and rainfall
before supplemental irrigationq Limit water use, especially potable waterq Minimize surface runoff
![Page 33: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4. Pollinator Protection

q Consider using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach if pest management is needed
![Page 34: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
5. Plant Selection & Design
q Understand your site and regional climate
q Choose plants suited to local conditions
q Include a diverse mix of plants
q Recognize and do not plant invasive species
![Page 35: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
6. Equipment & Material Selection
q Evaluate our dependency on tools and products, which contribute greenhouse gases
q Consider ways to reduce new purchases by using existing materials
q Work with nature to minimize inputsq When inputs are needed, consider the origin/carbon footprint
of materials, and use local resources whenever possible
![Page 36: Gardening in a Changing World · Gardening in a Changing World Presentation for the Amherst Garden Club October 1, 2020 Lisa Wise, Climate Adaptation Program Manager Lisa.Wise@unh.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053022/604f74cda69f9c71d307158b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Taking Action in Your Community
q Encourage local home and garden retailers to carry energy-efficient products and native plants
q Scale up gardening activities –e.g., school or community garden projects
q Participate in community science and stewardship opportunities
q Encourage municipal recycling/composting programs
q Find out what your municipality is doing to adapt to / mitigate climate change
q Get involved in local planning efforts to encourage green space, smart land use planning, restoration, public transportation, energy efficiency/renewable energy, etc.
q Talk to others about climate change!
