Perennial Grass Trials for Forage Purposes In Three Areas of Southcentral Alaska [PDF]
Forage trials of seeded perennial grasses were conducted at four sites in three areas of southcentral Alaska on soils with pH readings generally below 5.5 (down to 4 .35) . Three trials were at forested locations and one at a subalpine site.

Switchgrass storage effects on the recovery of carbohydrates after liquid hot water pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis [PDF]
Perennial grasses that would be used for bioenergy and bioproducts production will need to be stored for various periods of time to ensure a continual feedstock supply to a bioprocessing facility. The effects of storage practices on grass composition and

This study presents an automated system integrating a capillary force gripper and machine learning‐based object detection for sorting and placing submillimeter objects. The system achieved stable and simultaneous manipulation of four object types, with an average task time of 86.0 seconds and a positioning error of 157 ± 84 µm, highlighting its ...

Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica-based defences [PDF]
The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) predicts that allocation of resources to anti-herbivore defences differs between species according to their growth rate.

Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.
