Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Nutritional evaluation of elephant-grass silages with byproduct of annato Avaliação nutricional de silagens de capim-elefante contendo subproduto do urucum

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the nutritional value of elephant-grass silages containing annato byproduct. Twenty intact rams were distributed in a complete randomized block design with five diets (0; 4; 8; 12 and 16% annato ...

Genetic population structure of the grass snake (Natrix natrix) in human-altered landscapes in Switzerland [PDF]

, 2012
Both the conversion of natural habitats to farmland and efforts at increasing the yield of existing crops contribute to a decline in biodiversity. As a consequence of land conversion, specialised species are restricted to remnants of original habitat ...

Flowering phenology of herbarium specimens reveals century‐scale shifts in allergenic pollen seasonality

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Pollen allergies are a primary cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis, which affects over 500 million people globally, damaging quality of life and incurring significant costs in medical treatment and reduced work productivity. Many countries monitor pollen to inform allergy sufferers about seasonal pollen levels.

The evaluation of boundary‐layer turbulence in high‐resolution numerical weather prediction simulations using Doppler lidar

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new method compares both kilometer and sub‐kilometre weather model simulations with Doppler lidar observations to assess the representation of boundary‐layer turbulence. While bulk boundary‐layer properties are well represented, vertical velocity variance is strongly underestimated in both simulations.

Tropical Grass Growth Functions Modeling by Using Nonlinear Mixed Models [PDF]

, 2019
Nonlinear Growth curves are used for modeling plant physiological variables. These models are preferable because the polynomial coefficients of the equations have a biological significance.
