Do your research about the soil conditions in your area, and which plants grow best in it.
Without photosynthesis, the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into energy, the trees effectively starve.
BBC: NEWS | Science/Nature | Climate threat has plants quivering
An allergist tests to see which plants you are allergic to, and then gives injections of tiny doses of those offending substances so that you become desensitized.
Dr Alamaro wants to use a gas-burning, rather than a coal- or oil-burning plant, because the exhaust produced by burning natural gas is free from sulphur dioxide, which plants hate.
The book is a tour de force, showing, for example, how the potential contribution of biofuels can be approximated from just three numbers: the intensity of sunlight, the efficiency with which plants turn that sunlight into stored energy and the available land area in Britain.
The researchers used a database of more than 16, 000 energy plants to determine which underused plants were likely to make up a power shortfall if specific nuclear plants were closed.
FORBES: Shutting Nuclear Plants Would Boost Coal And Carbon Emissions
The author Franklin Loehr concluded that plants for which people prayed showed a better rate of survival and growth than plants which did not enjoy the benefit of prayer.
The fear generated from years of financial punishment creates the proper soil from which healthy plants can grow.
FORBES: University Of Michigan Survey Makes Dow 20,000 Look Easy
Last week, TRW Automotive, which has plants in Resolven and Pontypool, said it would have to cut 42 staff.
These included soil microbes, which govern the nutrient cycling reactions in soils, and mycorrhizae, root-colonising fungi which help plants to absorb nutrients.
It interferes with the reactions involved in photosynthesis, which is the process in which the plants produce the sugars to fuel their growth, leaving the plants weakened.
The holes twist through a phantasmagoric landscape of sand dunes thrown up half a century ago when phosphate mines worked the site, and which native plants and grasses have since overgrown.
Yet, rather than order the older plants to comply with new environmental standards, Mr Bush instead worked with industrial leaders to arrange a system by which the plants' owners are supposed to take part in the plan voluntarily.
Some evidence has emerged suggesting this could happen, though a breakthrough announced this month by a group of Canadian scientists may overcome the problem: they have developed a sort of agricultural contraceptive, in which GM plants that pollinate their non-GM relatives produce only sterile offspring.
Natural-gas plants are cheaper than renewables but emit greenhouse gases, which nuclear power plants do not.
Calpine, which operates 46 power plants and two natural gas companies in the U.S., is expected to be one of the main builders of big "baseload" power plants in California, which is suffering an energy crisis.
Among them are Japanese carmakers such as Toyota, which now has plants in several countries producing for local markets, and Coca-Cola, which never tastes quite the same from one country to the next.
Vincent Signorotti of CalEnergy, which owns ten plants around the sea, is rather looking forward to the prospect of more dry land on which to drill.
ECONOMIST: In a ��green�� state, an environmental disaster looms
For the moment, the uncertainty is taking its toll on Entergy, which owns the plants.
FORBES: Indian Point, Vermont Yankee Reactors Not Likely To Close
Three strikes in less than a year have interrupted the just-in-time supply chains on which modern car plants rely.
The US government has told thousands of companies to beef up protection of computers which oversee power plants and other utilities.
Much of its land remains protected by the federal and state laws, which prohibit picking plants, feeding animals, open fires and bush camping.
This is because many of the remedies are based on a combination of plants which taken on their own would not be effective.
For example, Zeneca has managed to switch the bt gene, which gives maize plants resistance to nasty insects, on and off using another chemical trigger.
The wheat is being cultivated in small squares, surrounded by other plants which will be checked to see if they are contaminated by the wheat.
Agricultural villages disappeared, to be replaced by the temporary camps of pastoralists, whose herds grazed on wild plants which required less rainfall than farmed crops.
As Tepco is forced to reckon with the supply shortages, it will have to resume production in several of its other plants which have been shutdown.
Last week Italian voters blocked a government effort to renew the use of nuclear power in Italy, which closed its plants after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
FORBES: Shutting Nuclear Plants Would Boost Coal And Carbon Emissions
More than three decades after we built the last of our aging 104 nuclear plants which provide about one-fifth of U.S. electricity, future updates and expansions are more uncertain than ever.
