Herbicide impacts on exotic grasses and a population of the critically endangered herb "Calystegia affinis" (Convolvulaceae) on Lord Howe Island [PDF]

, 2013
Introduced perennial grasses are capable of altering the habitat of native species, causing reductions in population size and vigour, and potentially affecting life-history processes such as survival, pollination and seedling recruitment. We examined the

A Critical Review on Green Conversion Techniques of Biomass Waste to Value‐Added Bioproducts: Advances, Challenges, and Future Technological Strategies

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights developments in cost‐effective fractionation techniques to ensure the sustainability and industrial applicability of biomass. ABSTRACT Given the depletion of fossil fuels and global concerns about environmental protection, lignocellulosic biomass is an excellent alternative candidate due to its unique combination of ...

NUTRITIVE QUALITY OF TEN GRASSES DURING THE RAINY SEASON IN A HOT-HUMID CLIMATE AND ULTISOL SOIL

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2011
The nutritive quality of ten grasses harvested at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks of regrowth was assessed during the rainy season (August-October) 2008, in the humid tropics of Veracruz, Mexico.

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1948-1963, May 2026.
Summary We used domestication as an in vivo replicated experiment to investigate how divergent selection has shaped the evolution of multivariate phenotypic spaces. We measured 11–57 qualitative and quantitative traits in 13 species, either unique or shared between species, and established a framework for cross‐species comparisons. Our results revealed

Evaluation of cover crops in high tunnel vegetable rotation [PDF]

, 2013
Organic vegetable production within high tunnels allows for an extended growing season, crop protection, and environmental control. The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards mandate evidence that the soil has been maintained and improved over the

Toward in vitro fertilization in Brachiaria spp. [PDF]

, 2010
Brachiaria are forage grasses widely cultivated in tropical areas. In vitro pollination was applied to accessions of Brachiaria spp. by placing pollen of non-dehiscent anthers on a solid medium near isolated ovaries.

Adaptive data collection strategies for spatial capture–recapture monitoring: Linking monitoring approaches to seasonal variation in density and space use

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Effective monitoring of wildlife populations is critical for conservation, but long‐term, large‐scale efforts are often limited, leading to inconsistent and disconnected site‐based data. This study evaluated adaptable, search–encounter data collection strategies for lions (Panthera leo) in Nairobi National Park across three surveys (2018, 2021 and 2022)

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.
