Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to determine the effects of shade on photosynthetic, growth and yield responses of "Redchief" strawberries. Plants were exposed to 0 , 30 , 47 and 63 percent shade in the greenhouse. Net photosynthesis (Pn) as measured under the shade treatments demonstrated a curvilinear decrease. Pn as measured under saturating light levels of 790 μ-tmol· m-2 · s·1 began to decrease in plants grown under 30 percent or higher shade levels. Light saturation curves for leaves expanded in full sun and then transferred to shade treatments for seven days showed a decrease in Pn saturation rate and light saturation point at 63 percent shade. Saturation curves for leaves expanded under the shade treatments exhibited a decreasing trend in saturation rate and point at all shade levels. Heavy shade (63%) reduced leaf thickness and depth of the palisade cell layers. Individual leaf area was not affected by shade treatments. As percent shade increased, total plant dry weight decreased linearly as did specific leaf weight. Shade treatments of 0, 30, 63 or 95 percent were applied over field-grown plants either in the fall during flower bud initiation, or in the fall and spring, during flower bud initiation and spring vegetative growth. Berry number was reduced as percent shade increased. Plants shaded only in the fall had higher berry number than plants shaded both in the fall and spring. Berry weight was also reduced as percent shade increased. Sugar concentration, pH and titratable acidity were not affected by shade levels or time of shade application. / Master of Science

This project provides a historical perspective and a comprehensive review of the quantitative and qualitative benefits of green roof technologies and argues that most of these benefits could be represented in the City of Chicago in an educational and interactive site. As a demonstration site, the Chicago Cultural Center rooftop could be retrofitted as such a green roof project. In addition to the normal benefits of a green roof, this high profile site would provide increased awareness of the benefits of rooftop greening in hopes of encouraging future such projects in Chicago and elsewhere. The major barriers to the widespread use of green roof technologies are summarized; creative solutions making use of various green roof technologies are displayed on one prominent, showcase rooftop. / Department of Landscape Architecture
