Conservation status of three rare endemic Phaseolus bean (Leguminosae, Phaseoleae) species of Costa Rica

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2024, Issue 12, December 2024.
We aimed at an inventory of all populations of wild Phaseolus (bean) species in Costa Rica, in relation to future plant breeding. During the field work in 2003–2018, three new and rare bean species (i.e. P. albicarminus, P. angucianae and P. hygrophilus) were found in different montane forest habitats which originally occupy a small acreage.

A novel and effective technology for mitigating nitrous oxide emissions from land-applied manures [PDF]

, 2016
Land-applied manures produce nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas (GHG). Land application can also result in ammonia (NH3) volatilisation, leading to indirect N2O emissions.

Indigenous sward restoration by oversowing Microlaena stipoides into kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) pasture

NZGA: Research and Practice Series, 2010
Management plans for the grazed parklands of the Auckland volcanic cones call for revegetation to restore a more natural and historic vegetation cover. The native grass Microlaena stipoides has been identified as a relevant species, and a field experiment was undertaken to determine the best approach for establishing this species into existing pasture.
