Genotypic ranking and repeatability coefficient in elephant grass genotypes for biomass production for energy applications

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Energy demand has become a global bottleneck, and the search for alternative sources is intensifying worldwide. In this context, elephant grass emerges as an excellent alternative due to its high dry matter production capacity coupled with beneficial biomass quality, high fiber content, high C/N ratio, and high calorific value.

Strong scale‐dependent relationships between fine‐root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2506-2521, June 2025.
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Balancing ecotourism and wildlife management through a conservation behavior approach

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We surveyed ecologists, conservationists, and ecotourism professionals to investigate consequences of ecotourism on animal behavior. We highlight four main behavioral themes and solutions for engendering more sustainable ecotourism that mitigates behavioral impacts.
