How does landscape management contribute to carbon sequestration?

  1. By increasing the density of vegetation

  2. By reducing the amount of impervious surfaces

  3. By promoting the use of renewable energy sources

  4. By reducing the emission of greenhouse gases

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Landscape management can contribute to carbon sequestration by increasing the density of vegetation, which absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using native plants in landscape management?

  1. They are more resistant to pests and diseases

  2. They require less water and maintenance

  3. They provide habitat for wildlife

  4. They are more expensive than non-native plants

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Native plants are generally more resistant to pests and diseases, require less water and maintenance, and provide habitat for wildlife. They are not necessarily more expensive than non-native plants.

How can landscape management help to reduce the urban heat island effect?

  1. By planting trees and other vegetation

  2. By using reflective materials on buildings and pavements

  3. By increasing the amount of green space

  4. By reducing the emission of greenhouse gases

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Planting trees and other vegetation can help to reduce the urban heat island effect by providing shade and evapotranspiration, which cools the air.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge associated with implementing landscape management practices to mitigate climate change impacts?

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Lack of political support

  3. Lack of public awareness

  4. Lack of scientific evidence

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the role of landscape management in mitigating climate change impacts.

How can landscape management help to improve air quality?

  1. By reducing the emission of air pollutants

  2. By increasing the amount of vegetation

  3. By promoting the use of renewable energy sources

  4. By reducing the number of vehicles on the road

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Vegetation can help to improve air quality by absorbing air pollutants and releasing oxygen.

Which of the following is NOT a type of landscape management practice that can be used to mitigate climate change impacts?

  1. Planting trees

  2. Using native plants

  3. Installing green roofs

  4. Using chemical fertilizers

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chemical fertilizers can contribute to climate change by releasing nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

How can landscape management help to reduce stormwater runoff?

  1. By increasing the amount of impervious surfaces

  2. By reducing the amount of vegetation

  3. By installing green infrastructure

  4. By reducing the number of buildings

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Green infrastructure, such as rain gardens and bioswales, can help to reduce stormwater runoff by capturing and infiltrating rainwater.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using green roofs in landscape management?

  1. They can help to reduce the urban heat island effect

  2. They can help to improve air quality

  3. They can help to reduce stormwater runoff

  4. They can provide habitat for wildlife

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Green roofs can provide habitat for wildlife, but this is not a primary benefit of using them.

How can landscape management help to promote biodiversity?

  1. By increasing the amount of vegetation

  2. By using native plants

  3. By creating wildlife corridors

  4. By reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using native plants can help to promote biodiversity by providing habitat and food for native wildlife.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge associated with implementing landscape management practices to mitigate climate change impacts?

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Lack of political support

  3. Lack of public awareness

  4. Lack of scientific evidence

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the role of landscape management in mitigating climate change impacts.

How can landscape management help to reduce the risk of flooding?

  1. By increasing the amount of impervious surfaces

  2. By reducing the amount of vegetation

  3. By installing green infrastructure

  4. By reducing the number of buildings

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Green infrastructure, such as rain gardens and bioswales, can help to reduce the risk of flooding by capturing and infiltrating rainwater.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using permeable pavements in landscape management?

  1. They can help to reduce stormwater runoff

  2. They can help to improve air quality

  3. They can help to reduce the urban heat island effect

  4. They can provide habitat for wildlife

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Permeable pavements can provide habitat for wildlife, but this is not a primary benefit of using them.

How can landscape management help to promote sustainable agriculture?

  1. By using native plants

  2. By reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides

  3. By promoting the use of cover crops

  4. By increasing the amount of vegetation

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Promoting the use of cover crops can help to promote sustainable agriculture by improving soil health and reducing erosion.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge associated with implementing landscape management practices to mitigate climate change impacts?

  1. Lack of funding

  2. Lack of political support

  3. Lack of public awareness

  4. Lack of scientific evidence

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the role of landscape management in mitigating climate change impacts.

How can landscape management help to reduce the risk of wildfires?

  1. By increasing the amount of vegetation

  2. By using native plants

  3. By creating firebreaks

  4. By reducing the use of flammable materials

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Creating firebreaks can help to reduce the risk of wildfires by providing a buffer between areas of vegetation and potential ignition sources.
