Preliminary description of the diet of Hippopotamus amphibius L. in Loango National Park (Gabon)

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2013
Due to the paucity of suitable habitat, hippos are very rare in the Congo Bassin. Compared to East-African populations, Central African populations of hippos have been less studied. Information found in the literature regarding the animal's basic ecology

Enemy Behind the Gates? Predicted Climate Change and Land‐Use Intensification Likely Speed Up C4 Grass Invasions in Europe

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Alien C4 grass species likely benefit from a changing climate, being adapted better to drought and heat stress. (i) We compiled an up‐to‐date inventory of alien C4 grass species in Europe, (ii) clarified their country‐wise distribution, (iii) identified the most widespread species and most invaded habitat types and (iv) assessed the temporal trend of ...

Irrigation rates and turfgrass evapotranspiration in cities with contrasting water availability

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 61, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract As water scarcity is worsened by drought and climate change, there is more interest in efficient management of urban irrigation, requiring understanding of the drivers of evapotranspiration (ET) and the role of irrigation inputs. We developed and validated a method to accurately measure ET of turfgrass lawns in contrasting climates using ...

Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with winter survival in St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum)

Grass Research
The winter survival of St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum [Walt.] Kuntze) in the transition zone is constrained by its poor freeze tolerance.

Effects of turfgrass canopy shade levels and quantum spectrum on the germination and development of smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum)

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.] is one of the most troublesome summer annual weeds in cool‐season turfgrass. Field experiments demonstrated a strong relationship between spring photosynthetic active radiation reaching the soil surface and the resulting smooth crabgrass cover in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa ...

Fifteen years of findings: Advancements in spring dead spot research from 2009 to 2024

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Spring dead spot (Ophiosphaerella spp.; SDS) is one of the most detrimental diseases to warm‐season turfgrasses, particularly bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.), growing in climates where cold temperatures induce dormancy. The pathogen can infect the crowns, stolons, rhizomes, and roots of bermudagrass most of the year, but infection in the fall ...

St. Augustinegrass accessions planted in northern, central and southern Italy: Growth and morphological traits during establishment

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2018
The use of warm season turfgrasses is a consolidated trend in the climatic transition zone of Mediterranean countries, in particular St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze) begins to be widespread in warm coastal areas.
