    Abstract The increase in population and the expansion of built-up areas into natural and agricultural areas results in more than just loss of open spaces surrounding cities. Reduced accessibility to nature, visual intrusion of buildings into natural viewsheds, and changes in runoff requires us to assess these impacts on open spaces. Our aim in this paper was to examine and demonstrate how topography can be incorporated into modeling and analyzing environmental impacts of cities. Taking Hong Kong Island as a case study, we used historical topographic maps to map changes in the built-up areas between 1930 and 2006. We analyzed changes in three variables representing different kinds of human impacts: landscape continuity, visibility of built-up areas, and runoff from built-up areas. We show that consideration of topography (both natural and artificial) is critical to understand spatial patterns of land use and of human impacts on open spaces. The methods employed here can be applied to examine and visualize the potential effects of future and proposed development plans.

    Abstract Since greenhouse heating is abandoned by most Israeli growers of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum), gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea, severely affects the base of the stems of whole plants as well as cut stems that are left after flower harvest. We studied B. cinerea infections of lisianthus plants under laboratory and commercial greenhouse production in a moderately arid Mediterranean area typical of Israel. We evaluated cultural methods that use least energy for manipulating disease development in commercial greenhouses. The development of infection along lower leaves toward the stem was found important in stem infection. It was significantly less at 26°C compared to 18 or 20°C, and was highest at relative humidity (RH) close to saturation. B. cinerea infection developed in all of the stem wounds exposed to 65 to 99% RH and at temperatures ranging from 12 to 29°C. Severity of infection in stem cuts on whole plants was least at 26°C, and was high at 99% RH. Similarly, severity was greatest at temperatures of 15 to 22°C and RH levels of 85 to 99%. Under commercial conditions, applications of supplemental calcium in spray or fertigation led to some reduction in disease incidence. Treatments of polyethylene soil cover, the use of buried drip irrigation instead of surface drip irrigation, plant spacing and blowing air inside plant canopy, each alone or in combinations suppressed gray mold on stem bases and plant cuts. Flower yield quantity and quality were increased by these treatments.

    Abstract Potassium (K) affects a range of physiological processes in the plant and is a key factor controlling crop productivity and yield quality. Little information is available concerning effects of K nutrition on function of cut flower plants. The present study was carried out to investigate the interaction between K and N nutrition, on flower quantity and quality of Ranunculus asiaticus L. The plants were supplied with three levels of K fertigation (60, 120, or 180 mg K L⁻¹) under 50 mg N L⁻¹ application, and at the intermediate level of 120 mg K L⁻¹, to three levels of N applications (50, 100, or 150 mg N L⁻¹). The two lowest K treatments and the lowest N treatment excelled in flower production due to the lower incidence of stem-toppling, a disorder associated with localized Ca deficiencies in rapidly expanding tissues of the flower stem. Detrimental effects in terms of yield quality were apparent already under supply of 180 mg K L⁻¹ and 50 mg N L⁻¹, and were not associated with changes in osmotic potential, relative water content or membrane stability of the plant tissue, or with changes in mineral contents of the leaves other than reduced Ca under high N application. Our results suggest a low nutritional requirement of R. asiaticus L. for K and N, a lack of involvement of tissue water relations in the reduced flower quality under the application of high concentrations of K and N, and an induction of stem toppling under high application of N and K by reduced availability of Ca to the expanding tissue of the flower stem.
