Uncovering Hidden Predators: Thermal Drone Detection of Antarctic Fur Seals in Tussac Grass at South Georgia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We demonstrate that fixed‐wing drones equipped with dual thermal and RGB sensors can effectively detect Antarctic fur seals, including those concealed in tussac grass at South Georgia. Thermal imagery significantly improved detection rates compared with RGB alone, while a combined workflow provided the most accurate population estimates.

Potential of Elephant Grass for Pulp Production

BioResources, 2013
Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) (EG) is a fast-growing plant with high biomass productivity in the range of 30-45 bone dry t/ha/yr. This high productivity qualifies EG as a potential raw material for bleached pulp production. This study evaluated elephant grass as a raw material for paper pulp production. This was accomplished through determining

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Ethanol Production from Hydrothermally-Treated Biomass from West Africa

BioResources, 2015
Despite the abundance of diverse biomass resources in Africa, they have received little research and development focus. This study presents compositional analysis, sugar, and ethanol yields of hydrothermal pretreated (195 °C, 10 min) biomass from West ...

Forage production of elephant grass under intermittent stocking [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2013
The objective of this work was to evaluate the dry matter production of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes, managed under intermittent stocking. A completely randomized design was used, with two genotypes and three replicates. The treatments consisted of factorial combinations (2x2x2) of genotypes ('BRS Kurumi' and the clone CNPGL 00‑1‑3),

Use of biostimulants in elephant grass cv. Napier

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
This study was developed to examine the growth, yield, chemical composition and in situ degradability of elephant grass cv. Napier (Pennisetum purpureum). Five spraying protocols with biostimulants were tested, namely, Control - no application; 1BR - bioregulator at seven days; 2BR - bioregulator at seven days + bioregulator and foliar fertilization at
