ASU Research Project: Human
Dimensions of Habitat Gardening
In a four-blog series published by the Arizona Wildlife Federation, Professor Kelli Larson’s Arizona State University research team shares evidence-based insights from years of research into the biological and sociological dimensions of habitat gardening. With a full 30% of land in the United States covered by residential landscapes, the future of wildlife conservation and public health depends upon a nuanced understanding of the motivations for and barriers to broad and successful gardening for wildlife.
