Anaerobic digestibility and fiber composition of bulrush in response to steam explosion

open access: yesBioresource Technology, 2010
Steam explosion, one potential commercial pretreatment method for lignocellulosic wastes, was used to improve methane production of bulrush. Steam exploded bulrush showed a higher methane yield than the raw sample. The effects of steam pressure, moisture

Correlation between environmental pollution indicators and COVID-19 pandemic: A brief study in Californian context

open access: yesEnvironmental Research, 2020
In December 2019, the novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak was first detected in Wuhan Hubei province, China. The April 24, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) has confirmed more than 39,000 cases, including >1800 deaths ...

Application of habitat association models across regions: Useful explanatory power retained in wetland bird case study

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Species often exhibit regionally specific habitat associations, so habitat association models developed in one region might not be accurate or even appropriate for other regions. Three programs to survey wetland‐breeding birds covering (respectively) Great Lakes coastal wetlands, inland Great Lakes wetlands, and the Prairie Pothole Region ...

King rail (Rallus elegans) home range and microhabitat characteristics in western Lake Erie coastal marshes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
We studied microhabitat and home‐range characteristics of the king rail, a secretive marsh bird of conservation concern, in the western Lake Erie region. Our results suggest that king rails in the region have mean home‐range sizes of 8.8 ha (±1.63 [SE]; range = 1.9 to 15.8) and utilize water depths of 6 to 17 cm within dense vegetation.

Yellow rail auditory detection during the non‐breeding season

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 3, April 2023., 2023
Yellow rails were recently recorded producing a previously undocumented vocalization in a coastal Texas salt marsh in January 2022. We found that this vocalization can be used to elicit the same vocalization in response during call‐playback surveys, and autonomous recording unit recordings demonstrate that yellow rails will also give this call ...

A Phosphotungstic Acid Catalyst for Depolymerization in Bulrush Lignin

open access: yesCatalysts, 2019
Obtaining renewable fuels and chemicals from lignin is an important challenge in the use of biomass to achieve sustainability and energy goals. At present, acid-based catalysts for lignin depolymerization are considered to be a potential but challenging ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Effects of low‐tech, process‐based restoration on riparian plant communities and soil moisture of streams in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.

Genetic Structure of the Endangered Northeastern Bulrush (Scirpus ancistrochaetus) in Pennsylvania, USA, Using Information from RAPD and SNPs

open access: yesBiochemical Genetics, 2013
The northeastern bulrush, Scirpus ancistrochaetus, is a federally endangered wetland plant species found primarily in Pennsylvania, USA. Data on the population genetic structureof this species are needed by conservation managers to prioritize ...

Abundance estimates of eastern black rails in southeastern Colorado

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study estimated eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) detection, occupancy, and abundance in southeastern Colorado. We found detection probability increased later in the season and later at night but decreased with ambient noise. Occupancy increased with residual vegetation height and detection of Virginia rail (Rallus limicola).
