Enhancing spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses through late‐winter scalping

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Rapid spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses in the transition zone is often desired to improve early‐season turfgrass quality, thereby increasing the acceptance of these species in arid and semi‐arid climates. This study evaluated the effects of late winter scalping on spring green‐up speed in 41 cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp ...

Enhancement of Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Altay Natural Mowing Grasslands by Mixed Grass Species Overseeding

Agronomy
Under the combined influence of climate change and long-term mowing pressure, natural mowing grasslands in the Altai Mountain meadow region of Xinjiang have undergone degradation, primarily manifested as a decline in the proportion of high-quality forage

Establishment dynamics of two zoysiagrass cultivars as affected by planting time, sprigging rate, and topdressing

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Vegetative establishment of zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is often slow, which can limit its adoption on golf courses. Understanding how establishment practices interact with cultivar selection and seasonal conditions is critical to improving success.

Performance of Five Cool-Season Turfgrass Cultivars for Fall Overseeding of Bermudagrass in Mediterranean Climate

Crops
Autumn overseeding with cool-season turfgrass species is a widely adopted practice under Mediterranean climatic conditions to mitigate winter dormancy and loss of green color in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon).

Short‐term effects of grass–legume mixtures on greenhouse gas fluxes in southeastern US cool‐season annual forage systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The agricultural sector contributes to the greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the United States. In livestock systems, grass–legume mixtures provide agronomic benefits, but their role in GHG mitigation remains understudied. This study evaluated the short‐term effects of two forage treatments on nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon ...

Canopy structure and morphogenesis of Italian ryegrass intercropped with red clover under cutting intervals determined by thermal sum [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2020
: The canopy structure and morphogenesis of ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) was investigated after it was over seeded with Tifton 85 (Cynodon spp.) and intercropped with red clover (Trifolium pratense L.).

Blue Fescue Overseeding Improves Performance of Fairway Height Buffalograsses [PDF]

, 2009
Buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] use as a fairway turfgrass is limited in northern portions of its adaptation zone by its extended winter dormancy and tan coloration in early spring and late fall.

Effectiveness of narrow vegetative filter strips in regulating sediment deposition in floodplain agricultural drainage ditches

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Floodplain agroecosystems are particularly susceptible to sediment redistribution due to seasonal flooding, snowmelt, and agricultural activities. However, field‐based evidence on the performance of narrow vegetative filter strips (VFS) under such dynamic hydrological conditions remains limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness of narrow

Reintroduced megaherbivores and prescribed fire shape seed removal in restored tallgrass prairie

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We examined how common grassland management practices (prescribed fire, megaherbivore reintroduction) shape seed‐granivore interactions. Rodents played a key role in seed removal, removing more seeds in unburned plantings without bison. Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were especially associated with increased removal of invasive seeds, suggesting ...
