B: Minimize evapotranspiration
C: Heat island reduction
D: Support integrated pest management (IPM)

参考答案: BD

本题解释:
正确答案：BD
系统解析: B:Evapotranspiration is the combination of evaporation and plant transpiration into the atmosphere. Evaporation occurs when liquid water from soil, plant surfaces, or water bodies becomes vapor. (USGBC)

In arid climates selecting plants with lower evapotranspiration reduces watering needs.

D:Native plants help with an IPM strategy.

A:One of the positive environmental aspects of open space is providing linked habitat for species in urban areas, allowing the species to move about more easily.

C:Plant choice does not impact heat island reduction.

E:Providing open space to allow occupants connect with the outdoors increases their well-being and productivity. Plant selection does not increase or decrease open space.
