Activities, Adaptation & Aging, 1997
Although it is well acknowledged that plants and gardens are often a source of great enjoyment to older people, little is known about how older people want to use the outdoors or about their preferences for different types of landscape. Current work at the Research Institute for the Care of the Elderly, UK, is looking at how well the grounds of purpose-

Water Conservation Through Facilitation on Residential Landscapes
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2011Plants 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
