Water Conservation Through Facilitation on Residential Landscapes

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2011
Plants can have positive effects on each other in numerous ways, including protection from harsh environmental conditions. This phenomenon, known as facilitation, occurs in water-stressed environments when shade from larger shrubs protects smaller annuals from harsh sun, enabling them to exist on scarce water. The topic of this paper is
