Evaluating Prescribed Fire As A Tool For Blight Resistant B3F3 Hybrid American Chestnut Seedling Introduction [PDF]

, 2023
The functional extinction of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) from the invasive chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) and wildland fire suppression have reduced the diversity and resiliency of southern Appalachian forests. Breeding programs have

The implications of American chestnut reintroduction on landscape dynamics and carbon storage

Ecosphere, 2017
In the eastern United States, American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was historically a major component of forest communities, but was functionally extirpated in the early 20th century by an introduced pathogen, chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica ...

Modelling the historic distribution and habitat of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) in Georgia, USA using edaphic and landform predictors [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
The loss of American chestnut (Castanea dentata Marsh. Bork.) caused ecological change in many community types of the eastern United States. Restoration is challenged by climate change and two naturalised invasive non-native diseases, chestnut blight ...

Intentional introgression of a blight tolerance transgene to rescue the remnant population of American chestnut

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
In contrast to many current applications of biotechnology, the intended consequence of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project is to produce trees that are well‐adapted to thrive not just in confined fields or orchards, but throughout their ...

Flooding‐Driven Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Global Upland Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporary flooding of upland croplands releases nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Field measurements combined with a global literature synthesis yield a global estimate of 63.3 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for diffusive emissions from flooded upland croplands.

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Cyto-molecular characterization of rDNA and chromatin composition in the NOR-associated satellite in Chestnut (Castanea spp.)

Scientific Reports
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata, 2n = 2x = 24), once known as the “King of the Appalachian Forest”, was decimated by chestnut blight during the first half of the twentieth century by an invasive fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica).
