	DR URSULA SCHUCH: Associate Professor Specialist, Arid Ornamental Plants Department of Plant Sciences Associate Specialist Forbes Building, Room 435 Tucson, Arizona 85721 Phone: 520.621.1060 Fax: 520.621.7186 By Dr. Ursula Schuch: My research program in Ornamental Horticulture addresses nursery production and management of ornamental plants in the urban landscape. The desert environment with its fluctuating temperatures, periods of drought, and often poor soil conditions provides unique challenges for growers and landscape managers. I am interested in learning how plants commonly used in the urban landscapes cope with environmental stress, especially salinity and heat. I am also interested in exploring strategies to optimize plant production in retractable shade structures in the arid Southwest. My goal is to provide growers and managers of landscapes with information that will support maximizing plant performance in the desert environment.
