Carbon sequestration strategies for climate resilience: Sorghum‐based innovations for sustainable agriculture in dryland regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is intensifying heat, drought, and food insecurity, threatening dryland farming and carbon management worldwide. We reviewed research on sorghum, a drought‐adapted C4 crop, covering physiology, roots, biomass allocation, soil carbon, bioenergy, breeding, phenotyping, management, and policy.

Raman, infrared and XPS study of bamboo phytoliths after chemical digestion

, 2011
Raman, infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies have been used to examine the effect of various chemical digestion methods on the composition of bamboo phytoliths. Intact bilobate phytoliths, suitable for interrogation by Raman microprobe analysis,

Experimental crop growing in Jordan to develop methodology for the identification of ancient crop irrigation [PDF]

, 2008
Crop irrigation has long been recognized as having been important for the evolution of social complexity in several parts of the world. Structural evidence for water management, as in the form of wells, ditches and dams, is often difficult to interpret ...

Variability of morphometric characteristics of Dactylis glomerata L. (Pooideae Benth.) leaf phytoliths at two stages of the growing season

Acta Biologica Sibirica
The study is devoted to the analysis of the morphometric parameters of Crenate phytoliths of the Dactylis glomerata L. leaf epidermis. The use of morphometry for the nomenclature and identification of phytoliths determines the relevance of studying ...

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Plant growth conditions alter phytolith carbon

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Many plants, including grasses and some important human food sources, accumulate and precipitate silica in their cells to form opaline phytoliths. These phytoliths contain small amounts of organic matter (OM) that are trapped during the process of ...
