The design process consists of two distinct phases called:
Analysis and Synthesis
The planning phase of the design process is called:
Analysis
The graphic or written phase of the design process is called:
Synthesis
define Management:
Planning
Define Maintenance:
Doing
Landscape Management :
It is the Design Intent
Controlling the state which a landscape is in, following pre-determined goals.
Landscape Maintenance
Natural factors governing landscape management:

Man Made factors governing landscape management:
MONEY Water Requirements Architectural features utilities power lines
The study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment:
Ecology
An ecological community and its environment interacting and functioning as a unit
Ecosystem
The Living component, the flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) of the environment:

The Non-living component (mineral, water, man-made) of hte environment:
Abiotic
A classification category consisting of organisms that are able to interbreed:
Species
The growing of one plant at the exclusion of all the others:
Monoculture
Darmin – Survival of the fittest:
Natural Selection
Movement, over time, from one ecological community toward an “end” community, which is essentially self-maintaining and self-renewing:
Succession
Classic “end” community, charecterized by different species of plants depending on geographical location:
Climax Forest
A single species such as a robin or mosquito:
Organism
