Biodiverse Landscape
Biodiverse Landscape is a design approach in environmental design that uses a variety of plant species, soil types, and microhabitats to create outdoor spaces that support many types of animals and insects. Designers can use vertical layering, like planting trees, shrubs, and ground covers together, to give shelter and food for birds and pollinators. Wet and dry zones can be mixed in one area to help amphibians and drought-resistant plants thrive side by side. Rocks, logs, and water features can be placed to create small habitats for insects and small animals. These landscapes can help clean the air, manage rainwater, and keep temperatures cooler in cities. Designers often use local plants because they need less water and care, and they help local wildlife.
