Hence, while large areas of native vegetation are ideal for pollinator diversity, retaining or enhancing seminatural vegetation can also be beneficial. Orchards with such strips had non- Apis insects visiting flowers at levels intermediate between those in isolated orchards and those with high surrounding natural vegetation ( Figure 2). In such cases, retaining or creating a seminatural strip of vegetation near the orchard's edge can be beneficial for pollinators. However, while native vegetation clearly benefits bees in this region, many almond orchards occur in locations with little remaining natural vegetation nearby. In Californian almond orchards, for example, flower visitation by non- Apis insects was greater in orchards with more than 30% natural vegetation within a 1-km radius than in isolated orchards with less than 5% natural vegetation ( Figure 2).
In intensively used agricultural landscapes there may be little remaining natural vegetation, and this has implications for how to best implement biodiversity-friendly farming. Alexandra-Maria Klein, in Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2013 This project attempts to establish such a framework by creating an open knowledge sharing platform to compile literature, case studies, and applications of AI related to landscape architecture.Joern Fischer. However, existing applications and attempts at AI integration remain scattered and singular, with no theoretical framework to understand what AI is more broadly and to what extent it might influence the future of landscape architecture practice, if not redefine practice itself. It has also affected landscape design, with capabilities to carry out project management tasks, perform analysis and optimization, and even autonomously engage in creative acts.
Landscape architecture is nearly absent in popular culture, and the field struggles to attract a diverse population of students and practitioners.
