Seasonal Distribution of Forage Yield and Winter Hardiness of Grasses from Diverse Latitudinal Origins Harvested Four Times Per Year in Southcentral Alaska [PDF]
, 1992 Relatively short growing seasons at subarctic latitudes require maximum efficiencies in production of forages during the brief growing period. This is necessary to provide adequately for livestock feeding requirements both during the growing season ...

Mechanisms controlling the distribution of two invasive Bromus species
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2014 In order to predict future range shifts for invasive species it is important to explore their ability to acclimate to the new environment and understand physiological and reproductive constraints controlling their distribution.
