Morphogenetical, structural and access to productive buffel grass [PDF]
Although the buffel grass is so important to the productive systems in the semiarid Brazilian studies with this forage are still scarce and diffused, so this experiment was conducted to evaluate the morphogenesis, structural and productive six accessions

Productive and morphogenetic responses of buffel grass at different air temperatures and CO2 concentrations [PDF]
The objective of the present trial was to evaluate the productive and morphogenetic characteristics of buffel grass subjected to different air temperatures and CO2 concentrations. Three cultivars of buffel grass (Biloela, Aridus and West Australian) were

Overview of the current status of buffel grass dieback [PDF]
Over at least the last decade in Australia a condition known as buffel grass dieback has been a major concern to graziers who utilise this grass in improved pastures due to its fodder value for cattle. This is the first full description of the dieback condition of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.), including morphological and histological symptoms ...

Obtaining sexual genotypes for breeding in buffel grass
Hierba bufanda (Cenchrus ciliaris L. syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link) es una especie altamente tolerante a la sequía y se utiliza principalmente como forraje en regiones más secas de los subtrópicos y trópicos. Se reproduce principalmente por apomixis y se requiere la adquisición de genotipos sexuales obligados o apomitos facultativos con altos ...

Salinity response of cultivars of buffel grass ( Cenchrus ciliaris )
Five buffel grass cultivars were grown in solution culture at levels of 0.5, 40, 80, and 160 m. equiv. NaCl/l. Yields did not differ between cultivars at the highest level of NaCl, and the more productive cultivars under low salinity conditions, Tarewinnabar, Biloela, and American, suffered greatest potential yield reduction and accumulated highest ...

Forage Preferences of Southern Black-Throated Finch (<i>Poephila cincta cincta</i>) in the Desert Uplands Bioregion of Australia. [PDF]
Understanding how seasonal food availability shapes diet is essential for conserving threatened species and managing their habitats effectively. This study examined the diet of the endangered southern black‐throated finch in Queensland's Desert Uplands, combining field observations with vegetation and nutritional analyses to assess food preferences ...

Morphogenetic, structural and productive traits of buffel grass under different irrigation regimes
The water restriction conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region are one of the most limiting factors to the establishment and yield of forage grasses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphogenetic, structural ...

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands. [PDF]
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.
