Effects on the compressive strength of cement-stabilized rammed earth blocks with varied content of buffelgrass-based fibers in wet-dry conditions

Frontiers in Built Environment
Stabilized rammed earth blocks have been an alternative building material around the world due to their cost efficiency, low embodied energy, and environmental footprints. However, the lower compressive strength and resistance to wearing limits their use

Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

Developing an expert elicited simulation model to evaluate invasive species and fire management alternatives

Ecosphere, 2019
Invasive species can alter ecosystem properties and cause state shifts in landscapes. Resource managers charged with maintaining landscapes require tools to understand implications of alternative actions (or inactions) on landscape structure and function.

Spatial Representativeness of MexFlux as a Regional FLUXNET Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Environmental observatory networks are fundamental in advancing scientific understanding of biogeochemical processes. FLUXNET is a global network of regional eddy covariance networks that measure ecosystem‐scale exchanges of greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2, CH4, H2O) and energy between the biosphere and the atmosphere.

Exotic grass invasion and wildlife abundance and diversity, South‐Central United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Exotic grasses dominate rangelands in parts of the South‐central United States. We reviewed the literature on the effects of exotic grasses on wildlife functional groups and species, and examined the state of the art of managing exotic vegetation in the ...

Molecular characterization of new Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) genotypes

Plant Omics, 2020
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L. Link) is an African agamospermous grass that has been widely introduced into arid regions of the world to improve rangelands for cattle production and as a result, it has invaded adjacent habitats. Cenchrus ciliaris is apomictic, a condition that is normally associated with low genetic variation within populations, but

Global Perspective and the Current Characterization of Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link) with Emphasis on Arid Mexican Territories

Grasses
Characterized as one of the most controversial and widely used grasses in various regions, buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link) is considered a significant and problematic invasive exotic species and an adaptable and resilient forage source with ...

Source population and time spent in captivity affect survival and reproduction of long‐distance translocated northern bobwhites

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 365-379, June 2025.
Long‐distance translocations of northern bobwhites are increasingly used to access source populations with sufficient densities for translocation. This study compared the survival and productivity of bobwhites translocated from the South Texas Plains and the Floridian Coastal Plain to the Floridian Coastal Plain, revealing higher survival and fecundity
