Belowground biomass characteristics and soil organic C accumulation of bahiagrass‐based forage systems with or without legumes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Grasslands are important terrestrial ecosystems that provide feed for livestock, support soil conservation and nutrient cycling, and store soil carbon (C). In many grazed grasslands, restricted nitrogen (N) inputs from fertilizers and minimal legume presence may constrain belowground biomass accumulation and soil C storage because of limited N.

Soil carbon, nitrogen, and biological activity as affected by land use and grassland management across North Carolina

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Undisturbed land uses have the potential to enhance soil organic matter, but how and to what extent this occurs on private farms remains relatively unexplored. A cross‐sectional study of perennial grasslands and farm woodlots was undertaken across North Carolina to investigate stocks of soil organic C, total soil N, and soil‐test biological ...

Paclobutrazol and maleic hydrazide-induced growth inhibition in warm season turfgrasses through structural and physiological differences

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2023
Warm season turfgrasses are fast growing and require frequent mowing, which increases maintenance cost. Various plant growth retardants are used to reduce the growth and required amount of mowing of turfgrasses.

A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] is a warm‐season turfgrass species in the family Poaceae. This species is a popular choice for lawns in the Southern United States, due to its higher tolerance to shade, heat and humidity.

Phytoremediation of Pb-polluted soil using bermudagrass: Effect of mowing frequencies

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Plant lead (Pb) tolerance and accumulation are key characteristics affecting phytoremediation efficiency. Bermudagrass is an excellent candidate for the remediation of Pb-polluted soil, and it needs to be mowed regularly.

Effectiveness of low‐density high‐throughput marker platform and easy‐to‐measure traits for genomic prediction of biomass yield in oat (Avena sativa L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a promising strategy for accelerating genetic gains of complex traits in breeding programs. Despite the recent advancements in high‐throughput genotyping technologies, the selection of the type of marker systems needed for GS remains challenging in breeding programs.

Variation in carbon sequestration in response to water limitation in a diverse panel of switchgrass genotypes

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been identified as a “model” herbaceous species for bioenergy production by the United States Department of Energy. Switchgrass can provide several ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, soil erosion control, runoff filtering, and reclamation of marginal land.
