A Review of Modeled Water Use Efficiency of Highly Productive Perennial Grasses Useful for Bioenergy
Agronomy, 2020 Whole plant productivity is obviously the ultimate product of leaf photosynthesis and this has led to numerous efforts to relate the two. However, often with perennial grasses, plant productivity is more sink-limited than source-limited, causing the ...

Germination Biology and the Ecology of Annual Plants [PDF]
, 1992 We derive spatially explicit population models for the interaction between a species of annual plant and a community of perennial species. The models are used to explore the conditions for persistence of the annual in both a constant and a stochastic ...

Initial success of native grasses is contingent on multiple interactions among exotic grass competition, temporal priority, rainfall and site effects. [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological communities are increasingly being recognized as the products of contemporary drivers and historical legacies that are both biotic and abiotic.

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...

Perennial life-histories and demographic advantages may play contradictory roles in the evolution of plant mating systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 When predicting the fate and consequences of recurring deleterious mutations in self-fertilising populations most models developed make the assumption that populations have discrete non-overlapping generations. This makes them biologically irrelevant when considering perennial species with over-lapping generations and where mating occurs independently ...

The role of the deep roots of perennial cereal kernza in a drying climate [PDF]
, 2020 Agricultural lands under annual crop production are prone to degradation and as the climate becomes increasingly variable researchers and farmers alike are looking at resilient crops such as perennial grains to produce food regeneratively.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Establishment of long‐lived perennial plants is a pivotal event that often leads to reproductive maturity. The population dynamics of the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) have been investigated over large spatial areas, but establishment patterns have not been studied at the microsite (1 m) scale.

Spatial patterning of chloroplasts and stomata in developing cacao leaves
Communications BiologyLeaf development and the coordinated formation of its key components is a fundamental process driving plant growth and adaptation. In tropical species like cacao, flush growth, a period of rapid leaf expansion, is particularly dependent on the optimized ...

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For care‐experienced young people, the preparation for leaving out‐of‐home care (OOHC) is vital in support of post‐OOHC outcomes. This research explores the acquisition of Independent Living Skills (ILS) amongst young people in Western Australia and is based on interviews with care‐experienced young people at two time points: while in OOHC and
