Establishing Hedgerows on Farms in California

Hedgerows consist of rows of trees, shrubs, perennial grasses, forbs, rushes, and sedges that surround farm fields. Their many benefits to agricultural landscapes include enhanced weed control, air and water quality protection, soil erosion control, biodiversity, and increased beneficial insect activity (wild bees and predators) that may improve pollination and biocontrol of pests in adjacent crops. Hedgerows may be relics of cleared lands, a result of natural plant dispersal, or established via direct plantings.

FAQs

What is an eBook? An eBook is an electronic book, a publication that can be read on "readers," the small, portable, electronic devices used for displaying eBooks.

Which reader devices support our eBooks? The ANR eBooks contain color photos, so we recommend that you use a color reader. We have prepared them in EPUB format, which will work with iPads, Sony Readers, Nooks, and most other readers except for Kindle. Kindle users can use a software utility to convert the downloaded EPUB into Kindle's MOBI format.

Can I view an eBook without a reader device? Yes. Some browsers support EPUB files directly. If your browser does not support EPUBs, you can download a free application from Adobe, Adobe Digital Editions: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/.

How do I add one of these ePubs to my iPad? For step-by-step instructions, access our eBooks help page. CNET also has a video describing the simple process: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-20008111-243.html.

I thought your ePubs looked great on the iPad. What software did you use to create the epubs? Thanks.

We used InDesign to create these ePubs. We added a little bit of work to the stylesheet (CSS) but primarily it was done within InDesign.
