What is a key advantage of raised bed farming in temperate regions with cold winters?
What is a key advantage of raised bed farming in temperate regions with cold winters?
- Raised beds prevent soil erosion in urban areas
- The beds warm up quicker than the barren ground in the spring, extending the growing season (correct)
- Raised beds require less maintenance compared to traditional farming methods
- Raised beds provide better protection against pests and diseases
How are amphibious farming areas secured in place?
How are amphibious farming areas secured in place?
- By building a solid foundation on the lakebed using bricks and mortar
- By using concrete pillars to anchor the farming islands
- By driving wooden stakes into the lakebed and establishing a perimeter with woven reed fences (correct)
- By creating a floating platform using buoyant materials
What is the primary purpose of floating agriculture?

Study Notes
Urban Stormwater Management Solutions
- Floating cultivation can be up to 10 times more productive than traditional farming
- Floating cultivation is not suitable in waterbodies with high flow velocities
- Bioretention areas are shallow vegetated depressions that treat stormwater flow
- Well-designed bioretention areas can add measurable capacity to stormwater management systems
- Correctly selected plants in bioretention areas remove pollutants from stormwater
- Bioretention areas can take various forms such as basins, swales, rain gardens, ponds, and trenches
- Bioswales and rain gardens collect stormwater and facilitate ground infiltration
- Retention ponds collect stormwater, add storage capacity, and provide habitat
- Detention ponds infiltrate stormwater into the ground and discharge overflow into the sewer system
- Permeable pavements, like pervious asphalt and concrete, reduce surface runoff
- Permeable pavements consist of surface pavement, stone aggregate reservoir, and filter layer
- Permeable pavements can be used in pedestrian walkways, driveways, parking lots, and low volume roadways
