Evaluation of maize and hemp cultivars as bioenergy crop [PDF]
, 2010 We are cultivating annual and perennial crops as monoculture and as mixed culture to investigate plant biomass use for production of renewable energy sources in northern latitudes. We have grown different hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and bioenergy maize (

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Optimal allocation patterns and optimal seed mass of a perennial plant [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We present a novel optimal allocation model for perennial plants, in which assimilates are not allocated directly to vegetative or reproductive parts but instead go first to a storage compartment from where they are then optimally redistributed. We do not restrict considerations purely to periods favourable for photosynthesis, as it was done in ...

Cultivar diversity as a means of ecologically intensifying dry matter production in a perennial forage stand [PDF]
, 2014 The relationship between genotypic diversity and productivity has not been adequately explored in perennial forage production systems despite strong theoretical and empirical evidence supporting diversity\u27s role in ecosystem functioning in other ...

Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is globally pushing fire regimes to new extremes, with unprecedented large‐scale severe fires. Persistent soil seed banks are a key mechanism for plant species recovery after fires, but extreme fire severity may generate soil temperatures beyond thresholds seeds are adapted to.

Persistence of Overseeded Cool-Season Grasses in Bermudagrass Turf
International Journal of Agronomy, 2011 Cool-season grass species are commonly overseeded into bermudagrass turf for winter color. When the overseeded grass persists beyond the spring; however, it becomes a weed.
