Cytogenetic insights into Festulolium
Climate change calls for new methods and plant materials to breed crops adapted to new environmental conditions. Sustainable forage and amenity grass production during periods of severe drought and heat waves during summer, and unequal distribution of ...

Effects of Planting Date and Latitude-of-Adaptation on Seeding- Year Development, Winter Survival, and Subsequent Seed and Forage Production Potentional of Grasses and Legumes in Subarctic Alaska [PDF]
Objectives of the present study were to compare effects of several planting dates on seeding year development, winter survival, and second year herbage and seed production potential of cultivars from three diverse latitudinal sources within three ...

Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

THE QUALITY OF SILAGE FROM FESTUCA ARUNDINACEA AND MISCANTHUS GIGANTEUS AS FEEDSTOCK FOR BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION IN REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA [PDF]
Biomethane production is environmentally friendly and rapidly expanding in the latest years. Energy crops can be a suitable feedstock and if ensiled it can be supplied to biogas plants continuously throughout the year.

We propose here to interpret and model peculiar plant morphologies (cushions, tussocks) observed in the Andean altiplano as localized structures. Such structures resulting in a patchy, aperiodic aspect of the vegetation cover are hypothesized to self ...

Species-specific effects of elevated ozone on wetland plants and decomposition processes [PDF]
Seven species from two contrasting wetlands, an upland bog and a lowland rich fen in North Wales, UK, were exposed to elevated ozone (150 ppb for 5 days and 20 ppb for 2 days per week) or low ozone (20 ppb) for four weeks in solardomes.
