Seed provision and dryland crops in the semiarid regions of Eastern Kenya: [PDF]

"Over the last two decades, several seed-related programs have been initiated in eastern Kenya to improve farmers' access to quality seeds of dryland cereals and legumes. They are provided during two occasions, regular and emergency times. But very often,

Crossability Relations of Domesticated Peas (Pisum sativum and Pisum abyssinicum) With Wild Pisum fulvum and Drought Response Assessment of P. sativum × P. fulvum Progenies

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Seed pellets containing activated carbon increase emergence of native plant species used in dryland restoration following herbicide application

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...

Wind erosion in semiarid landscapes: Predictive models and remote sensing methods for the influence of vegetation [PDF]

Wind erosion in semi-arid regions is a significant problem for which the sheltering effect of rangeland vegetation is poorly understood. Individual plants may be considered as porous roughness elements which absorb or redistribute the wind's momentum ...

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Climate conditions on the South‐Iberian Palaeomargin during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian: A mineralogical and geochemical study from hemipelagic deposits

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integrated analysis of lithofacies, mineralogy and geochemistry of the hemipelagic marine succession exposed in La Cerradura section (South‐Iberian Palaeomargin) provides new information to characterise the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian, including the Jenkyns Event.

Nitrogen fertilization rates to maximize winter malting barley yield while meeting protein requirements in Ohio

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Due to the craft beer industry, there is an emerging need for winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) nitrogen (N) rate recommendations in Ohio. An experiment was conducted at seven site‐years to identify the optimum spring N application rate to maximize barley grain yield while maintaining protein requirements for malting.
