Variation of Fatty Acids in Cool-Season Grasses

Agronomy, 2022
Cool-season grass samples were collected and analyzed for omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid (FA) content. Perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass samples were collected on four harvest dates from various trials conducted in the

Evaluating soil amendments for establishment of centipedegrass sod

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil amendments are frequently incorporated prior to turfgrass sod installation to improve rooting and establishment; however, these materials represent a substantial cost to contractors, sod producers, and homeowners. Despite the widespread use of compost, topsoil, and sand, limited information exists on whether these amendments provide ...

The Adoption of Low-Input Turfgrasses in the Midwestern US: The Case of Fine Fescues and Tall Fescue

Horticulturae, 2023
Fine fescues (Festuca spp.) and tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) are low-input turfgrass species that perform well under less water, pesticides, and fertilizers when compared to commonly cultivated species in the Midwestern US.

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3221-3237, September 2026.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to

Grass pollen production and group V allergen content of agriculturally relevant species and cultivars. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Grass pollen is the main cause of hay fever and allergic asthma in warm temperate climates during summer. The aim of this study was to determine the content of group 5 major allergens in pollen grains of agriculturally important grass species/cultivars ...

Kentucky Bluegrass and Annual Bluegrass Responses to Ethofumesate

HortScience, 1986
Abstract In a 1983 study, ethofumesate at 1.1, 2.2, and 3.3 kg°ha −1 ; bensulide at kg°ha −1 ; and an untreated control were compared for annual bluegrass [ Poa annua var ...

In A Class of Their Own: Multiclass Random Forests Reveal Distinct Habitat Needs of Fledglings Relative to Adults in Two Grassland Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Adults and juveniles across taxa often have unique habitat needs as a result of differing selective pressures during these periods, and such differences may inform the conservation and management of species. Here, we apply a novel multiclass analytic approach to compare the habitat use of nesting adults and fledglings in two declining grassland bird ...

Soil nutrients and microbial community resistant to patch‐burn grazing in southwestern North Dakota

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Patch‐burn grazing uses the interactive effects of prescribed fire and herbivory to increase heterogeneity in aboveground ecosystem properties. Understanding how management that targets aboveground heterogeneity translates to soil properties and processes provides an important whole‐system context for practitioners.

Creation of a novel, higher-ploidy, drought-tolerant Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) germplasm

Scientia Horticulturae
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is a widely utilized cool-season turfgrass species in landscape architecture and ecological restoration projects. Nevertheless, the majority of commercially available cultivars currently exhibit insufficient drought ...

A Bayesian latent‐scale model for quantifying turfgrass seasonality from turf quality ratings in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Seasonal variation in turfgrass quality is important for cultivar evaluation in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). However, quantifying these patterns directly from visual ratings is difficult, because these ratings are ordinal, subjective, and collected repeatedly from spatially structured field trials.
