A "Purchase of Development Rights" is typically used to: a. Encourage agricultural, open space, or environmental uses on a site that might otherwise be developed b. Transfer development rights from one property to another to encourage open space conservation c. Increase development density on eligible sites d. Restrict development in sensitive environmental areas - Answer A. Although PDRs can also be used to "restrict development in sensitive environmental areas" this answer is less ac...

what changes make us want to restore rivers? correct answer: increase runoff which leads to channel incision, changes in sediment supply, and increased rate of bank erosion what is river restoration solutions dependent on? correct answer: channel type, and type of degredation/aggredation what effect does urbanization have? correct answer: increases runoff, leads to channel incision and the incision and reduced infiltaryion leds to lower water tables in riparian and changes soil and vege...

Aggradation - Answer The progressive accumulation of sediment along or within a stream. Results in elevation change. Alkaline Soils - Answer low conc of H+, high pH, found in areas rich in calcium carbonate. (Basic soils) Bearing Capacity - Answer A measure of the load/unit area that a material can withstand before failure Brownfield Site - Answer A plot of land that was previously developed and is not currently in use. May be contaminated and polluted. Chlorosis - Answer A condition...
